I'm thinking today of a verse in Mark chapter
1, verse 30. It says, Simon's mother -in -law
was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus
about her. I love this verse because it reminds
me that they told Jesus about her, not that they
told her about Jesus. We do know that as Jesus
traveled through Galilee, he was restrained from
doing as many miracles of healing as he had done
in other places because he found so little faith
there. Here we know that the disciples told Jesus
about her illness. Elsewhere we know that four
men carried a paralytic to Jesus to be healed.
The bottom line is this. The concerns of your
heart need to be lifted up to God. When you are
praying, you need to think of yourself as entering
the very throne room of God and tell God about
the things that concern you, about your loved
ones who aren't well, about problems in your
life, etc. And where God wants to bless you with
incredible miracles and changes of situation,
He'll do so. Our focus needs to be on coming
to Jesus with our concerns. In whatever situation
we're in, as difficult as it may be, We need
to talk to Jesus. Jesus can do incredible things.
Has done. I've seen incredible healings. But
in other cases, I've seen there was no healing.
Trust Jesus to decide what's right. And then,
he'll decide what's right for us when we go to
be with him for eternity. And we'll be glad for
it.
