“he inquired of them the hour when he got better” [John 4:52(RAV)]
November 23
“he inquired of them the hour when he got better”. In other words, the nobleman checked out whether it was at the time that Jesus gave him the promise of healing that his boy was actually healed.
The gift of healing, like answered prayer and any other promise of the Lord, stands investigation. Things do happen by coincidence and there may be occasions when the mind exerts influence over matter. But when God works in answer to requests made to Him, these have no place. It was not coincidence that the boy was healed at the same hour the nobleman talked with Jesus; it was an indication that the Word of the Lord healed him. And the father gave God the glory.
Check out what has happened and when you find what the Lord has done, give Him all the glory and praise.
