"And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? (John 5:5-6 KJV)
Before the Lord will change our condition, He often will cause us to first confront it! How willing are we to participate in our own deliverance? This certain man was in his condition for thirty eight years and in that time, he had not moved any closer than the porch to his deliverance. Thus, Jesus question: do you really want to be made whole? The questions for us today are: Do we want the Lord to do it all for us immediately or, are we willing to participate in our own deliverance? How bad do we really want it?
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for being our deliverer. Lord do what you can do and help us to do what we can do. Amen!
Phil 4:13. . . . I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. KJV
