Healing S.P.A. - Our Life in God's Hands! Weekly devotional by Barbara Sanders
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
I know you've all heard about SPA's....a health spa, a place you go for theraputic healing, or perhaps a tub for relaxation or invigoration, with a device for raising whirlpools in the water.
You might think it kind of odd that God's name is linked with S.P.A. - but that's no ordinary SPA, believe me. When this name came to my mind, I thought - just like God to be
humorous as well as economical and loving at the same time!! :)
Just think how expensive a SPA is - there may not be one in your area - you have to 'travel'...money! And when you get there, more money......BUT, this particular SPA is
free - absolutely free. It's for the spiritual, physical and it's ADEQUATE - remember, he said 'my grace is sufficient for you'? Sufficient means 'enough'..... HIS GRACE is
sufficient for ALL our needs. He said in his words, that "but my God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus"...Phillipians 4:19.
There's not a doubt in my mind, he means every need, whether it be spiritual, physical - or any need = HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT for that need!! We can depend on HIM for anything - we just have to
bring it to Him - bask in the fullness of his love - trust Him with our life....! In other words, leave it with HIM - he's the healer, the provider, and much more!! HE is the
S.P.A. we all need to visit when we have a need in the body or in the Spirit - it's free!!
Heavenly Father, we thank you that Your Grace is indeed sufficient for all our need. We know that your WORD is the avenue toward
all the healing we need for our lives, physical and spiritual - that coming to You and your S.P.A....we have done all we need to do - giving it to you and letting your will be done in our
lives. Help us to realize that we need to surrender all to you, when we have a problem - not after the problem has surmounted and grown so big, that it overwhelms us to the point we give up
and let satan get the upperhand....thinking WE can't make a difference. Keep us reminded that you are the healer, the provider of all our needs, and you never change - you are there for us
all the time, in any situation. We thank you for the healing in our body and soul and spirit, and we give you the praise, honor and glory due your name. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
