Paralysis has gripped our fallen world. Wars, chaos, shortages, starvation, economic woes, all a result of the ravages of sin, inherent in us. We contribute to its cause. God in His great compassion, mercy and love, sent His Son into this paralyzed world to proclaim His words of comfort and security. His commands echo continuously through time and space. The Lord Jesus spoke and continuously speaks through the scriptures and the authority of the church. There are also many other things the Lord did and said and is continuously doing and saying. As St John said, ‘If they were to be recorded, the world itself would not be able to contain the books that would be written.’ The Words of Life are written that we may have healing of our paralysis. When my parents spoke and asked things from me, I responded and felt good about it. They loved me despite my naughtiness. Their words of assurance gave inner peace. Life was pleasant as a result. How much more if God’s word is listened to and taken note of.

Prayer: Abba Father, your child is wanting to listen to you even though the noise of the world deafens unto paralysis. Amen.
