God’s Healing You

We all need to be healed…healed of something – physical or otherwise.

God often heals us while we’re asleep…sleeping. We don’t realize or know He’s doing the work at the time, but so often that’s how it happens.

When my kids were growing up and got sick, I’d put them to bed and pray they would have a nice healing sleep. That has been many years ago. Recently, I was praying for one of them -all grown up now (unbeknownst to them); I’d prayed as I went to bed and the next morning the whole prayer came to mind again. I remembered them and remembered God, and a peace came over me that God was healing them (unbeknownst to them – they didn’t know Mom had prayed for them). Yes God, who made them would heal them too and He would heal them as they slept.

I guess you could say that’s how God sometimes operates on us to make us better.

It comforted me.

Have you experienced this?

What’s Wrong with Me Looking Good?

Most of the women I read about in God’s word were beautiful women. God made them – so it must be okay with Him.  Even the men were made strong and handsome.

Job 42 says of his 3 daughters, “There were none found so fair in all the land as Job’s daughters.” Incidentally, one of them was named Jemimah – remember Aunt Jemimah? Good things 🙂

I believe God wants his human beings to take time for themselves to look good, to put on a good face, to be attractive not only for themselves but for the world to notice. To let the beauty of God’s human creation show!

I’m not talking looking sexy, save that for your spouse. (That also is part of God’s design). But taking time for our more public appearance – man or woman – is part of our responsibility. Casual is okay, but why choose sloppy?

Plus, when we take care of ourselves we feel better!

Let’s start out this new week looking good!

God Conscience

God put his conscience for what is right and what is wrong inside each and every human being.

Because we are made by him in his image. Why? He wants us to succeed – to grow – to develop. He created a good world with good purposes for good people to live a good life with each other and to tend the good land.

This sounds like a fairy tale! Nevertheless, this was his original plan. But we can’t live and do his plan without him.

Maybe, just for today, we could ask him to help us with these things in our life and see what happens. Maybe, just maybe, he might help us.

And then…
