She Was Made Straight

                                   She was made straight, and glorified God - Luke 13:13.

               A woman who had a spirit of infirmity was bent over for eighteen years. Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up - Luke 13:10,11.

             Jesus called her and told that she was set free from her infirmity. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity - Luke 13:12. Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage - Galatians 5:9. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed - John 8:36.

                The woman was made straight immediately when Jesus laid His hands on her. And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God - Luke 13:13. She glorified and thanked God. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy - Psalm 107:2. Let us glorify God who makes all the crooked places straight in our life.                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We glorify You for making all the crooked places straight in our life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

                                   If you believe, you will see the glory of God - John 11:40.

         We shall see the glory of God in our life as we believe.

The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, The excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, The excellency of our God - Isaiah 35:1,2.        

           The glory of the Lord will be revealed as the crooked places become straight and rough places smooth in our life.

Do Not Be Afraid Only Believe

 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well” - Luke 8:50.

               Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue begged Jesus to come to his house as his only daughter was sick. And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying - Luke 8:41,42. On the way, Jesus healed the woman who had bleeding for twelve years.     

           Jesus came to know that Jairus’ daughter is dead while he was still speaking with the woman. He told Jairus not to be afraid but only to believe when. While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore - Luke 8:49. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind - 2 Timothy 1:7. I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live - John 11:25.

             Miracles happen as we do not fear but only believe. But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened - Luke 8:54-56. Everything is possible for one who believes - Mark 9:23.                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us not to be afraid of any situation but to only believe. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

His Riches Are Unsearchable

To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ - Ephesians 3:8.

            The riches of God are unsearchable. We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, the knowledge of the mystery of His will, the message of truth, the sealing of the Holy Spirit, and inheritance. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself - Ephesians 1:7-9.       

         God’s mercy, grace, love and wisdom are rich. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus - Ephesians 2:4-7. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love - Psalm 145:8. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! - Romans 11:33.  

             The unsearchable riches of Christ provide salvation to everyone who believes. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life - John 3:16. It is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek - Romans 1:16. Let us thank God who has blessed with every spiritual blessing. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ - Ephesians 1:3.                                                    

PRAYER: Your riches are unsearchable. We thank You for blessing us with every spiritual blessing. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
