Morning by Morning, March 27, 2025 - Look What the Lord Has Done!
Good morning, Lord Jesus. As I watch and wait for the leading of Your Holy Spirit, my human spirit comes to attention in the communion of prayer with You—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...
“Then (Elisha) said, ‘About this time next year you shall embrace a son.’ ... The woman conceived, and bore a son when the appointed time had come, of which Elisha had told her” (2 Kings 4:16-17).
This morning the thoughts come to mind of a young woman my wife Rocio and I were with, just before leaving Morelia, Mexico on our way to ministry in Toluca—Dham Cruz and her husband Jonathan—who is expected to give birth to her first child today. When we stayed at their home last year on our ministry trip in central Mexico, they asked us to pray for them because the doctors had told Dham she could never have a child. But look what the Lord has done! Praise You, God!
We thank You for Your healing heart and miracle power that moves in our lives according to Your will at “the appointed time!” (v. 17) You stir in our hearts to seek You in prayer and make our requests known to You with expectant faith. Only You can work Your miracles; and it’s You who stir in our hearts with faith to pray for things we could never do and only dare to believe. “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). In this way, You continue to speak to us this eternal truth, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23).
You heal in many ways. Sometimes instantaneously and miraculously in a moment. Sometimes in the process of little by little, day by day, as healing unfolds. Sometimes by using doctors, nurses, medicine, and elements of Your creation You’ve placed in the earth to assist us. Sometimes by giving us the grace to persevere until the ultimate healing comes when Your kingdom is fully established on earth as it is in heaven. Sometimes by the healing of the resurrection when we stand forever healed and free in Your Presence.
Your part is to answer and move as You will according with Your Word. Our part is to pray and believe with expectant faith, “Your kingdom come. Your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). When we see it come, we celebrate! When we don’t see it come as we have hoped and expected, we keep trusting You and Your goodness and Your love, even though we don’t understand. But we keep praying as You keep leading (Romans 8:26).
So however You heal, in Your “appointed time” and in Your appointed way, may we keep our eyes on You, trusting in You, seeking first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, as we trust by faith that all these things we ask of You will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33). And now every day, I’m excited to look and see what You will do! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
