In Jesus' Hands Day 23

Jesus Heals - 30 Days In Jesus' Hands

On 28th September 2010 I threw myself into Jesus' hands. Over the next 30 days I'm trusting that Jesus will fully heal me of all illnesses and diseases, some of long standing (1 Peter 2:24). My testimony has been undermined. I am sick of being sick. I feel led to take none of the 6 medications prescribed for me, nor see any health professionals (Mark 16:18). I believe I'll become healthy, rested, alert, mobile, vigorous and sound of spirit, soul, mind and body.

Today

A very unsettled day. There is just a week to go of my 30 days. Today I had number of small house-husband and household-bookkeeper things to do which, as so often happens, took way longer than planned. There is also a great deal to ponder . .

Jesus' Fear Of The Lord

For the past three days I have been thinking about Jesus, and His Sonship, His fear of the Lord:

(Isaiah 11:2-3) "The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him; the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. His delight will be in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears".

Whilst living on the earth, Jesus "who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men" (Philippians 2:6-7).

Jesus constantly served Father God because of love. He loved His Father, and He loved being the beloved of His Father. I believe that the most precious thing Jesus had on the Earth was His Sonship, it meant everything to Him. He always looked to His Father:

(John 5:30) "I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me". (See also John 6:57, John 8:29, John 14:13, John 15:10).

Jesus lived in worship, obedience and humility. He served.

We are to be like Jesus. Me also. I am to be like Jesus.

It is very clear in the Bible, that Christians will grow. This is one of my great delights. Many seniors behave as though their lives are over; the Christians I know, of my generation, are all exploding in faith, hope and love (1 Corinthians 13:13). Growing in faith, in hope, and in love.

Thank you Jesus, you did not simply die for us, but you laid down all of your life in humility and obedience to Our Father for the sake of the whole world. For my family. For me.

As we face difficulties we can ponder these things in the knowledge that God never fails and never changes. Jesus' faith was anchored in these truths.

Favourite Scriptures:

We are to become more Christ-like:

(Ephesians 4:11-13) He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

And we can rejoice:

(Philippians 1:6) being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Praise Jesus
Amen.
