Today’s Scripture: And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8:3 ESV
Ok, so maybe this is more of a proclamation than an affirmation today but I have to share. Just yesterday as I knelt before God praying for an ill follower of Jesus I saw a giant hand coming down from heaven. I had never seen such a vision.
Once again, I have found God’s Word to be amazingly perfect.
The leper knelt before Jesus in Matthew 8:2 and he affirmed that if Jesus was willing He could cleanse him. Then here in Matthew 8:3 I see these words; JESUS STRETCHES OUT HIS HAND. Immediately, the vision from yesterday flashed into my mind and I knew I must share this hope with you today. Jesus still stretches out His hand.
Just as the disciples in verse 27 of this same chapter I marvel at Jesus who still calms the storms and reaches out to cleanse us. Do you marvel at Jesus?
Today’s Prayer: Almighty Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Holy Word and for Jesus. LORD, I marvel at Your majesty and Your hand in my life today. LORD, I praise You and love Your Holy Spirit who teaches me and gives me the eyes to see You. I will tell everything Jesus has done. Amen
