“And it came to pass, when He was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought Him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. (Luke 5:12)
Jesus is not a genie in a bottle that comes out and does His miracle of healing when we say the right words or touch Jesus in the right way.
Nothing is too hard for the Lord Jesus to do. The leprous man recognized Jesus’ ability to heal, but faith says, “I trust the Lord to do what is best.” God could have healed Paul the Apostle of his thorn in the flesh but chose not to, saying, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” (II Corinthians 12:9) As it turned out, the Lord chose to cleanse the leprous man of his leprosy, as He did many others of various diseases.
Will you be satisfied with whatever the Lord’s purpose is for you? If Christ will be glorified in your sickness or some other problem, will you trust Him? The song says, “Have thine own way Lord, have thine own way…”
