GLORIOUS GRACE! - 89

3 John (1) : 2 - Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.

You have seen much and done much with God by your side. You have prayed all kinds of prayers too. So what would you place as top priority when you pray for people?

When the apostle John wrote 3 John, he was probably the only disciple of the original 12 who was still alive. And now, after all he had heard, seen and experienced, the apostle John prioritized, above all things, health as well as holistic wellbeing. He knew the Lord’s heartbeat.

The apostle John was the one who leaned on the Lord’s bosom on the night of the Last Supper. And I believe that there on Jesus’ bosom, he must have felt the heartbeat of the Son of God — that loving and compassionate heartbeat which had caused Jesus to go about “doing good and healing all” (Acts 10:38). In fact, two-thirds of Jesus’ ministry on earth had to do with healing the sick.

Jesus had prioritized divine healing during His earthly ministry. And Jesus, who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), will do the same for us today. His heart still beats for us. He will never miss an opportunity to do good to us, to heal us of our broken body, emotional scars and weary spirit, and to bless us!

Thought for the day!
The Lord wants and will always want health and wholeness for His people "just as it is well with the soul"
