Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth
us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. Psalm 68:19 (KJV)
Text for the day: He looked up and
said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around." Once more
Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was
restored, and he saw everything clearly. Mark 8:24-25
Our Devotional
A Wow moment is defined
according to the urban Dictionary as a magical moment or memorable experiences.
A Wow moment can also be defined as a way to express surprise or pleasure.
All I can say today is, “God is
working on behalf of all of the prayer warriors that have been praying for the good
health of Kevina. Just after a very serious operation on Friday October 31,
2014 at Mass. General in Boston to remove a tumor growing behind her left eye.
The Doctor spoke to me with an
optimistic outlook that Kevina will recover from this great test. We still have
to wait until Thursday to get the news on what type of tumor was taken out of
Kevina. We as a family are thanking God for the way how He has Kevina in his
hands. We are taken God at His word and trusting him with Kevina’s life that
all things will work together for good.
Kevina should have had great pain
and pain medicine after the surgery. But as the Lord would have it, He took
away much of the pain, so they only gave her pain medicine twice. It has only
been today November 2, 2014, that she spoke of any pain again.
But the greatest news ever today is
that Kevina was given the OK to leave the hospital a day after her major
operation. "Hallelujah" What a mighty God!! What a mighty God!! What
a mighty God we serve!!
He did not just bring her through
the operation; God has put His hand over her healing. This reminds me of the
healing of the blind man in Mark 8:22-26.
The course of events recorded in
Mark 8:22 are in many ways similar to those in the story of the deaf-mute man.
Both stories took place in the same general region. In the story of the
deaf-mute man, Jesus was on His way from Tyre and Sidon, traveling through the
region of Decapolis. And so He would have been east of the Sea of Galilee. In
today’s story Jesus is in Bethsaida on the northeast side of the Sea of
Galilee. In both stories a man was led to Jesus, and those who brought him
begged Jesus to touch him.
According to Dr. Ray Pritchard, he says that
this healing is, “really two miracles in one, or more accurately, it is a
two-stage miracle. After the first stage, the man can see but his vision is
very blurry. Only when Jesus touches him a second time can he see
clearly. Cloudy spiritual vision afflicts every person to some degree.
None of us see as clearly as we ought to see spiritually. No one ever sees life
with perfect clarity. All of us have spiritual nearsightedness to one degree or
another.”
It is only when Jesus touches us, some a second,
third, or fourth time, that we are made whole. I would like to extend the same
invitation to you today that Jesus did to the blind man of Bethsaida. What
healing are you longing for? Why not ask Jesus for it today? For I know He
still answers prayers.
Kevina still needs our prayers
over the next few days particularly as she needs extra help to move around. She
has been given the OK to walk around in the hotel only, and nowhere else. She
has to sleep sitting up in bed to keep the blood flowing properly to her head
and left eye. God be praised! What a Wow Moment!!!
