You're healed...now GO!
For some odd reason, Amy’s chemo treatment hasn’t sapped all of her strength this week. We praise God and thank Him for this very evident answer to prayer! Amy drove to the store and picked up some groceries and even attended Trevor’s open house today! Granted, when she got home she was pretty well wiped out, but at least she was up and out and that’s always good!
Have you ever noticed that in the many accounts of the various healings of Jesus, that He almost always tells them to either: Get up or Go? He doesn’t tell them: Rest! Sit and contemplate what has happened. Look them up for yourself, they are spread through out the gospels and involve lepers, the blind, the lame, a paralytic, seizures, the deaf and mute…even the dead, there are up to 35 recorded miracles of healing that Jesus performed (there are actually more, but a few accounts just say that ‘many were healed’ or ‘and they were all healed’). Why does He tell them to do these things? Who would have a more effective witness in a small town then one of their own? Just by walking around town, these people would draw such wonder and awe that there could be no denying that Jesus is the Messiah. There is no doubt in my mind that God has healed Amy, look at all the eyes that are on her, observing her and not just observing her health, but her attitude and her faith as well. God has the attention of a great number of people because of His plan for Amy.
Get up Amy! Get up and go!
