Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:8
i was talking on the phone with my friend sher last night. sometimes we pray together, and yesterday both of us had things to pray about. her "thing" was really cool, something i have begun to get used to, but my brain cannot really be totally wrapped around.
sher is a wonderful woman, who i met in the very first bible study i went to after i became a christian. i noticed her right away, for her beauty and warmth, and the "something" that i know now is God's handprint on a person. i latched onto her right then, and somehow was lucky enough for it to hold. she is like a 2nd mom to me.
sher has had alot of battles with her health in her life. she has fought and won thyroid cancer when she was in her 20s, and had heart surgery last year when she was in her late 50s. and in between, there have been several other things that have broken on her body. one of them is her knees. she's really skinny and sort of athletic looking, but the problem is that she was a preschool teacher for much of her life. all of the "crouching" down to little kids level has made her knees go kind of bad. she can walk fine, but not "crouch" anymore, and sometimes has knee pain.
so wednesday night she was watching the 700 club, or some show on christian tv, and the guy started praying for healing. he said something about praying for someone's knees, and she thought "boy, i wonder if that is me, because i would really like some new knees" and prayed.
and guess what? she got up and decided to believe that God HAD actually healed her, and squatted down. got back up. no pain!!!
when i talked to her last night, she had been walking around doing squats in her house all day, and she felt great. i told her that it would make a great exercise video, miraculous healing and the exercise benefits :))
Praise be to Him. wow, Lord, you are awesome.
