"they were healed as they went"

I just started this and I'm already a day late! But I haven't forgotten!

So, for yesterday, this is where I saw God:

I Bible studied with my friend, Ashlee, and we looked at the passage in Luke 17:11-17 where Jesus heals 10 lepers. Beth Moore makes a bunch of great points in her "Jesus" Bible study about this passage, but the one that hit me the most is the one about verse 14, which reads:

"When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed."

Did you catch that last part? And as they went, they were cleansed. Beth Moore states, "the lepers were cleansed during their faith walk to the priest. They went on a faith walk to get their healing. So often we are asked to walk by faith to get our healing, but the point of the matter is that they had to move to get to their healing. Their participation was needed for their healing.

So often in our lives, we have to get away from whatever pain we are experiencing. God doesn't want us complacent. He wants us healthy; therefore, he wants us active. He wants us to participate in our own healing.

He wants us to pursue His face knowing everything from His hand will fall into place.

Continue on your faith walk with Christ, for they were healed as they went.
