We have been crying out to God for the past few months for the healing of Covid-19 patients.
We have been praying hard for a vaccine.
Yet, our pleas seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Is God listening?
The woman in today's Gospel (Luke 13:10-17) simply stood there quietly. She was suffering, not for months, but for 18 years. But at the presence of The Mighty Healer she didn't say a single word.
Jesus sees her & says, “Woman, you are set free of your infirmity.” (Luke 13:12). He lays his hands on her & instantly she was healed!
God sees & He heals.
How about our situation? Does that mean God doesn't see us?
God sees everything. Psalms 33:13 says that "From heaven the LORD looks down & observes the children of Adam".
You may not hear it but Jesus is also telling us, "you are set free of your infirmity.”
We only see Covid-19 but God sees beyond what we can see.
God is doing something bigger.
* God is freeing us from materialism. Be content with what you have. You can live a good life even with only the essentials.
* God is freeing us from busyness. Live simpler. Live with less clutter in your calendar.
* God is freeing us from fake or toxic relationships. Enjoy your time with your family. Appreciate your Zoom sessions with your true friends.
* God is freeing us from our un-healthy lifestyle. Take time to sleep more. Eat well. Take your vitamins. Exercise.
* God is freeing up our time for Him. Pray more.
God is freeing us from other things that have been crippling us for several years. God is healing us from things that are more deadly than Covid.
What do we need to do to be free? STAY WITH JESUS.
That's what the crippled woman did.
Look beyond the pandemic.
Look at the complete healing that God is doing in your life now.
May God bless your week! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
