Praise Focus-Healing Hand of Jesus

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus come from Luke 17:17 and 18.

Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”

Ten men were healed from leprosy. One of them came back, praising God in a loud voice. He was a Samaritan who threw himself at the feet of Jesus and thanked Him.

This story encourages us to count our blessings from God, and to acknowledge His gracious hand in the ways that He provides for us, delivers us, and heals us. By the wounds of Jesus, we are healed from our sick condition of sin. Today, we can be like that Samaritan and offer God gratitude for the cleansing touch of His grace on our lives.

The healing hand of Jesus for our body and soul is a reason to praise God in the Year of Focus.
