*********************************************************************
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked Him - he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?" Then He said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
Luke 17:15-19
In this account of Jesus’ healing ministry, ten men with leprosy called out to Jesus from a distance, asking Jesus to have pity on them. Jesus showed His love and mercy for the faithful men and healed them; however, only one man returned to Jesus to give thanks for His love and kindness.
In today’s world, we often cry out to God for His blessing, yet forget to come back to Him in appreciation... During this season, be reminded of the many ways that God has provided for you and blessed your life, and always return to Him in praise and thanksgiving.
Prayer:
Abba Father,
We come before You as children who understand that You know how to best care for us. Thank You, Father, for Your love, patience, discipline, and safe-keeping. Amen.
