I have to admit something.  I’ve been struggling with the whole idea of healing.  I was raised to believe that God heals the sick.  I know that he is able and I know that physical healing is biblical.  Yet, I pray that God would heal people and I don’t often see an answer.  I guess that I’ve been perplexed because I have family members who are struggling physically, as well as a dear friend who is battling cancer.

After dealing with my shortage of faith for a couple of days, I am reminded of how faithful God is.  I remember the times my family and I have been healed.  I think of those I’ve prayed for at church who have been healed.  I also have to acknowledge that if I never personally see another healing, it doesn’t mean that God is not able or willing to heal the sick.

And then God does what he does best, he reveals himself to us.  After my short crisis of faith, all of the sudden I start to see him at work.  In recent days I have rejoiced at the praise reports of three friends who have been healed: Mercy of a physical ailment,  Doris healed of stomach cancer, and Jackie miraculously healed of carpal tunnel during our worship service.

Our God will reveal himself to us as we reach out to him.  All of us go through times when our faith is week.  Today is a good day to ask God to help you grow in your faith.  Remember, “he is the same yesterday, today, and forever!”
