But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; And you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.
Malachi 4:2
God’s miracles always deal with more than the immediate need. We are short-sighted and want the answer we are desperate for but He is dealing with more than that. He is dealing with our character and our eternal destiny. When we get the healing, provision or miracle in our life it has the potential to go deep into our being and connect us to God in a new and powerful way. We don’t just get the healing; we also get the Healer! We don’t just get the provision; we get the Provider!
If we don’t receive Him then we reject the miracle along with Him. It isn’t right for us to think that we can have God’s blessing without His way in our lives. That is a very childish view. We want Grandma’s cookies but we don’t want to hang out with her. People in general love to believe they are God’s blessed one. Many times they want the church blessing on their wedding but they don’t want church life to interfere with their marriage. This promise of the Healer rising in our lives is based on our reverence for “His Name”. That means they respect His character and participate in His call to having a healthy, holy lifestyle.
We NEED this miracle power rising in our lives to not only be healthy but to help others. Desperate, irrational people don’t respond to reason, but they do respond to God’s provision in our lives. When they see us “fattening” up they want to find out how we did it. That is our big chance to share our testimony with them. Then they can believe and fear Him so that He can rise up in their lives with healing in His wings.
Blessed in His Ways,
Pastor Jason
