Jesus spoke those words on more than one occasion as he extended the healing of God’s provision to those who came to him seeking relief from physical struggles. As one of ten lepers who had been healed returned to offer thanks, Jesus told him to “Get up” and “go on your way; your faith has made you well.” This man had discovered his reason for rejoicing in more than a physical return to health, but in a relationship that established his future in more profound ways as one who had confidence and hope in the knowledge that Jesus had healed him. Trusting expectation and plea had led to physical healing, but a response of faith in praise and thanksgiving was a recognition of blessing from God. That kind of faith restores in ways that far exceed a measure of physical health alone.
Persons of faith, who hold an abiding trust in God, who offer Him their praises and thanks… discover the joys of a daily journey with Him. To know Jesus as your Lord brings a joy that extends far beyond the limits of a crippled body or a failing heart or weakened lungs. It brings the peace of God with us…come what may…forever.
