GOOD HEALTH IS A RESOURCE - Matthew 8:14-17
What Does it Say? v14-15 Jesus healed Peter's mother in law with a touch and she got up and cooked dinner for them.
What Does it Mean? Several years ago, I went to our paster requesting prayer for healing. I was given a short Bible study asking why I wanted God to heal me. I had never really thought about why I wanted to be healed other than it would feel a lot better. The message I heard from God that day was that God doesn't just heal us for our own personal comfort. He wants a relationship with us and He wants us to introduce other people to Him using whatever resources He gives us. Good health is a resource. When Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law, her first response was to get up and serve Him. She used her good health to cook a meal, something she knew how to do. Healing comes in many forms; emotional, physical, spiritual, relational, etc. What would you like Jesus to do for you? How can you serve Jesus more effectively if He heals you?
