Meditate On
Beyond All Expectations
When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes
followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You
are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched
him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Matthew 8:1–3
When the Lord blesses you, He blesses you beyond what you
expect. In the healing of the man with leprosy, Jesus reached out and touched
the man, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately, the man was
healed.
My friend, did you notice that Jesus touched the man
first before He healed him? I love these little gestures of Jesus! That simple
touch restored a sense of humanity and dignity to the man who had not been
touched for a long time. Because of his unclean and physically repulsive
condition, no one wanted to be close to him, much less touch him.
Jesus knew that the man needed more than just physical
healing, so He gave above and beyond what the man had hoped for. Beloved,
that’s the love and over-supplying grace of your Savior! What is your lack
today? Know beyond any doubt that Jesus’ provision will exceed all your
expectations!
