Good health is a treasured possession, yet it can be intentionally neglected. Some individuals make their health a priority only after years of negligence. To be healthy, wealthy, and wise may be out of bounds for most people, but there are those who would give all their wealth to be healthy again.
While faith may not be a deterrent to illness, it can be a factor in recovery. Luke 8:43 begins a story concerning a woman who had been hemorrhaging for twelve years. She believed by touching the hem of Jesus’ garment she could be healed. Jesus responded with, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
What a wonderful gift to be healed! Faith moved this woman to do something she believed would restore her to health. For her to touch Jesus was a display of faith in action. Are you in a position to step out in faith and trust others to help you? Faith in Christ Jesus can make possibilities a reality.
Jesus replied [to the boy’s father], “…Anything is
possible for someone who has faith!”
~Mark 9:23 Contemporary English Version
Jesus asked, “What do you want me to do for you?” The
blind man answered, “Master, I want to see!” Jesus told him, “You may go. Your
eyes are healed because of your faith.” Right away the man could see, and he
went down the road with Jesus.
~Mark 10:51-52 Contemporary English Version
