Have you ever had a massage? Has anyone ever rubbed your head, shoulders, back or feet? I love to be rubbed. It relaxes me, calms me down, makes me feel loved, makes me sleepy and even rejuvenates me…and more.
I was saying my verses this morning when I realized I was being so ministered to by Jesus. His Word ministers to me. As I agreed with The Word I was reading, it was like He was massaging me deep in my heart with the Love in His Words. It was so soothing and wonderful. He is so wonderful in His Love for us.
This precious little verse stopped me and really captured my attention. Believing and “doing” this one scripture has been so soothing to my life that had so many knots, and sore muscles of fear, bitterness, striving, shame, doubt and so many others.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Hallelujah! It is my Father’s will to give thanks in everything. All He wants to do is minister to me through this precious, soothing verse. God knows just where I’m sore and rubs me with His Loving hands of mercy, grace, peace and joy.
And this is just one of the verses He uses to bring His all-knowing, strong hands to bear on my areas that need His healing, loving touch.
What an amazing God we have. Jesus. What a Savior. Let Him minister to you, child of God. He knows just where to rub.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
