Listen carefully and you will hear God calling. He may be planting an idea. He may be quietly inspiring you to greater things. Watch carefully because there is a plan in place and God is encouraging you to make your mark. We are all soldiers of the cross and we need to move forward with enthusiasm and courage. Let God be the driving force behind all you do today. Look to God to be the reason for your actions and behaviors. Listen carefully to His promptings. Let Him move you forward and direct your steps. Be inspired and stimulated by all God is. – Melinda Clements

Look Ahead with Promise, Hope, and Joy
Down through the centuries, in times of trouble and trial, God has brought courage to the hearts of those who love Him. The Bible is filled with assurances of God’s help and comfort in every kind of trouble which might cause fears to arise in the human heart. You can look ahead with promise, hope, and joy. – Billy Graham
God’s Goodness
Our circumstances are not an accurate reflection of God’s goodness. Whether life is good or bad, God’s goodness, rooted in His character, is the same. – Helen Grace Lescheid
Museum Quote
In any museum we will find quite ordinary things – clothes, a walking stick, a pen, pieces of furniture – which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person. It is the ownership which gives them worth. It is so with the Christian. The Christian may be a very ordinary person, but he acquires a new value and dignity and greatness because he belongs to God. The greatness of the Christian lies in the fact that he is God’s. – William Barclay
The Light Of The Gospel
The gospel is the tale of a light breaking into the world that even the darkness cannot overcome. – Frederick Buechner
A Step of Faith
When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it’s time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
Either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught to fly. Edward Teller
Jesus Heals
“Is not God as willing to show the mercy of healing to His worshippers as He is to show the mercy of forgiveness to His enemies?” (Romans 8:32) – F.F. Bosworth in “Christ The Healer“
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32 NKJ
The Amplified Bible is often helpful for explaining the meaning of words in a passage (amplifying them):
“He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?” Romans 8:32 AMP
He sends forth His word and heals them and rescues them from the pit and destruction.
Psalm 107:20 AMP
Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits—
Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;
Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]! Psalm 103:1-5 AMP
There are many, many more Scriptures about healing, as well as many examples of healing in the Bible. There are also many books written about healing, but not all of them line up with Scripture. In my study on healing I’ve ran across several books that completely disregard what the Bible says about it. I’m currently reading “Christ The Healer” by F.F. Bosworth, as I’ve quoted above. I’m not finished with it yet, but my opinion about it so far is good. The book is mostly a compilation of Bosworth’s sermons, with some incredible and encouraging testimonials from people who were healed of various ailments and diseases, several which were life-threatening.
Have you read any good books on healing that are based on Scripture? If so, please share them in the comments.
