Trust And Obey The GREAT Physician!

Exodus 15:26  And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Sometimes people fail because they have Not Confidence in the Physician. 

The very First requirement of this Doctor is, that you Trust Him...

And Trust Him Implicitly, so implicitly that you Go Forward on His Bare Word...

And act as if you had received His healing the moment you claimed His promise. 

But no one would expect to be healed by an earthly doctor as soon as they obeyed his directions.

You must Do What the Great Physician Tells You, if you expect Him to Make You Whole.

You cannot expect to be healed if you are living in sin, any more than you could expect the best physician to cure you while you lived in a malarial climate and inhaled poison with every breath. 

So you must get up into the pure air of Trust and Obedience before Christ can make you whole. 

And then, if you will Trust Him, and attend to His directions, you will find that there is balm in Gilead, and that there is a Great Physician there.

It Is GOD That Worketh In You!

Php 2:13  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

A day with Jesus. Let us seek its plan and direction from Him. 

Let us take His highest thought and will for us in it. 

Let us look to Him for our desires, ideals, expectations in it. 

Then shall it bring to us exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think.

Let Him be our Guide and Way.

Let us not so much be thinking even of His plan and way as of Him as the Personal Guide of every moment, on whom we constantly depend to lead our every step.

Let Him also be the sufficiency and strength of all the day. 

Let us never forget the secret: "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me." 

Let us have Jesus Christ Himself in us to do the works, and let us every moment fall back on Him, both to will and do in us of His good pleasure.

Let our holiness be "the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus."

Let our health be the "life of Jesus manifest in our mortal flesh." 

Let our faith be "the faith of the Son of God who loved us." 

Let our peace and joy be His peace and joy. 

And let our service be not our works, but the grace of Christ within us.
