Daily Devotional

Take up your bed and walk!

What a remarkable thing the Lord said. And, He is still saying this to us today.

Soldier of The Cross, there are times in our lives when we have the blessing of an illness that God chooses not to heal. He who has said He would not withhold any good thing, knows what is best for us.

While it is easy to miss the blessing in pain, discomfort, or inconvenience, is is much easier to be passive and forget that He who loves us so, is also the Great Physician.

Life is full of mysteries. We can't expect to understand everything, but we know if we obey, He is faithful to keep His Promises.

I have often had the experience of feeling sick, or being so tired I was sure the next obligation could not be met.

The way you pray reveals much about your attitude about your body and who it belongs to. Are you your own? Or, were you Bought With a Price?

We live in a fallen world. If the Lord does not heal you, it is because He is extending an opportunity to you for your good and for His Glory.

Otherwise, get up and move. Put His priorities over your own. If you are not in willful sin, you have the right to ask for healing. There is much to be done, and often, the body responds to the mind.

Look up and move on!
