Give Thanks for Health Renewed

As followers of Jesus Christ, we give thanks because our health is renewed. We have been healed by His stripes and wounds. He paid a tremendous price, at the cross, to reverse the consequences of our sin.

If we are not walking in health, then this is the day to begin a new lifestyle of faith and thanksgiving for God’s provision of wholeness. Isaiah 53:5 and many other Bible passages are firm reminders that our health is renewed through Jesus Christ. We thank God for His gifts.

The secular assumption is that when we reach a certain age, things happen to cause our bodies to break down and stop functioning. We are told that it’s normal to have pain; if we live to be a certain age, we can expect inevitable physical ailments. The redeemed man or woman must decide whether they will believe those negative assumptions or whether they will live by faith in the Word of God.

As believers, we are challenged to trust Scripture. Remember, we are healed by Jesus’ stripes. That is the truth. This miracle becomes our divine reality when we know what Christ has provided and when we believe that we are personally included in His action.

Today, let’s lift our hearts and give thanks to God, knowing that everything that was once wrong in our lives because of sin is now made right. Because of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, our health is renewed.

Thought of the Day: Today, I will meditate on the work of Christ on the cross. He bore so much to heal and remedy the brokenness of the world. What great love God has shown us through Christ!
