Thought For Today

And as He (Jesus) entered a village, He was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”  Luke 17:12, 13

Lord whenever I read about lepers it takes me right back to my visit with the lepers that were placed on the island of Hay Lin Chow away from society because of their disease.  Thank You for Rena that left her home in Scotland and came as a medical doctor to help them.   How sad it was to see these lepers with fingers and noses gone and other body parts gone because of the horrible disease of leprosy.  It makes me understand this verse and know how desperate these lepers were as they cried out to you.  They wanted healing and You were there only answer at that time.  I am so grateful for the medication today that has eliminated the horrible destruction of this disease.

Lord I have to thank You first for the gift of modern medicine and the difference in the lives of all of us by eliminating the dread of this disease of leprosy and so many other diseases.

Thank You for hearing these lepers’ cries.

Thank You for hearing us as we so often cry out to You.

Thank You Lord for always being there for us.

Thank You Lord.
