Good Sunday morning! The clouds have rolled in overnight out here on the dry hills of western Nebraska. We may even get some rain out of this weather change. I like the story of those men who lowered the paralyzed man in front of Jesus by tearing a hole in the roof. Jesus told them that their faith had been noticed. We should note that not only did these men have faith in the teacher to heal their friend, but they also had faith that God would not let the roof cave in after they had torn a hole in it. A lot of trusting went into the act of healing that man on his mat, and even more trusting went into that man carrying his mat from the house. That man didn't have to wonder whether he had been healed; he knew and felt in his body the healing of Jesus. When our time of healing comes, we will know without the slightest doubt that we have been healed by the Lord. All sorrows will be erased, all tears will be dried, and the healing power of Jesus will be manifest in us. This is not to say that healing of our bodies cannot happen here on earth, but that one final day, all of us will be healed forever by Jesus our Lord. Wait patiently for that great day, and trust in Jesus forever!
God bless and keep you on this day of the Lord,
Bucky
