To Be Whole

Mark 6:53–56(KJV 1900) — 53And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 54And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, 55And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 56And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

I would to the Lord that we would all have this same devotion for the comfort that only the Lord can give.....back in those days they didn't have hospitals and health care the way that we know it today.....My Great Grandpa Elbert Taylor was a minister for decades back from the depression years up through the early 1960's.....he kept a journal of people that had asked him to come and pray for them and, if they gave him a gift, he kept record of it....cans of green beans, apples, sometimes a dollar, etc.....he kept record, and you know what? God kept record of those prayers and of those gifts as well.....My grandmas sister one time asked my Grandmother, what ever happened to men like Elbert Taylor???? I jumped in the conversation and said "Aunt Marjorie, people pick up the phone and call the doctor now, a majority of people don't even consider prayer I don't imagine" .... she looked at me and said, you're probably right....sadly, we should use faith and common sense....but faith should come first.....prayer changes things.....in those days people had no doctor to run to, no ER to run to for comfort....but they did everything they could to get to the Lord....I pray that more people would do the same today....God promised those people back then, and all of us today, that grace to get us through ANY and EVERY situation and discomfort we may ever have to go through.....

Psalm 138:3(KJV 1900) — 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me,And strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever....please call on Him today! God bless your day
