Today’s Thought “Naught of Earth Unmoved Can Stand!” G. Ward

Luke 4:38-39 Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her.  And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and waited on them.

Christmas, along with the season has me as a believer pursuant to the works of Christ. I marvel at His unrelenting dedication to God the Father, then mankind; forgetting about oppositional forces and Himself (*cf. Eph.5:1-2). It is written to impel us in the same and every consideration opposite violates the love relationship intended.

Howbeit that every case of sickness given Jesus immediately witnessed those victims restored without furthered visitation of procedure (i.e. prescriptions, treatments, etc.)? Absolutely yes! He alone is the Great Physician; but His display of power understood sickness, sufferings and death would always be in mankind. Those miracles were solely accomplished to display Holy God’s power onto proposed belief from mankind (cf. Matt.12:38-39). We, on the other hand selfishly use all HE did (death on the cross on our behalf - cf. Isa. 53:4-6) for our deliverance from sin to more suggest our potential sickness has already been conquered; but yet many of us still die therein. Whenever you encounter scripture with pause that defies perceived actuality, there’s no need to doubt what is written, but more embrace your finite position in earth against Infinite Wisdom’s best care for you without presupposition.
