My Reflections

I Praise God With or without Healing.

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Jeremiah 17:14
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

This verse is talking about both physical and spiritual healing. What connection co you think healing and praise have? Do you think healing or praise comes first?

Answer:
I think it depends on the situation. A lot of times healing comes first. On the other hand, we need to acknowledge God's ability and give him praise before the healing takes place. I think we should praise him both before and after the healing takes place. Even if he doesn't heal, I will still love and follow him. I am going through some health issues right now. I am planning to incorporate some of these verses in my prayers. God is sovereign and has a purpose in everything. Everything works together for my good always, even illnesses.

Prompt: Generally speaking, what kinds of words and actions can bring out the best in people?

The Bible says a soft answer turns away wrath but previous words stir up anger. It also says Life and death are in the power of the tongue. This is true. Positive and encouraging words build us up. Negative and belittling words bring us down.

As far as actions go, sometimes it is the little things that mean a lot. A smile or a simple glass of water or a steadying hand or just help carrying something means a lot to the person who truly needs it.
