Luke 17:14b, 19 And as they went, they were cleansed. … Rise
and go, your faith has made you well.
It has always struck me a quite significant that the lepers
were healed as they went. They evidently were not healed while they
stood there in front of Jesus, talking to Him, asking Him to heal them. It was when they started down the road to
obey Jesus’ command to show themselves to the priest that the healing actually
took place. When they took that first
step, they still had leprosy! But as
they continued down the road (in faith) their healing took place. This is a valuable lesson/example for
me all these years later. This was
written for my edification, for my learning, so I know that God wants me to
just go, just act upon what I know He can do, even if I don not see the final
result at the very start. Sometimes He
may want to do the miracle I am looking for after
I begin to obey Him in whatever it is that He is leading me into. I cannot afford, spiritually, to wait to see what the end result of my obedience will be. I just need to start out on my path of obedience and see what God will do as I go.
