Daily Thoughts - Live as Children of Light
"And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"" Luke 13:16
Jesus has just healed this woman from her infirmity, being crippled for eighteen years. The woman filled with the grace of God did not allow the sin in her life to keep her from coming to Jesus. It was her persistence that kept her coming back, her desire to know God and to love God.
How often do we come before Jesus, is it monthly, weekly, daily, hourly? The woman's infirmities did not stop her, she was not bitter, she was faithful and trusting in God. We as well can learn from her example, to always come before the Great Healer. He knows what holds us back, He knows what binds us even when we can not see it ourselves.
Be the light in the world that seeks healing but is bound by sin. Move forward even when you don't feel like it, Satan still binds people in their affirmatives and Jesus is the Light that burns within that keeps the evil one away. Be His Light.
Dear Father, Your teachings are always so timely as You reaffirm what You are teaching. May we be attentive to Your voice, may we come to You especially in our bondage and trust ourselves into Your providential care. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
