There was a certain pool in Jerusalem where sick people went for healing. Jesus noticed a man lying near the water who had been an invalid for 38 years. Jesus asked him if he wanted to be healed. The man replied that he had no one to help him into the water. Jesus said, “Pick up your mat and walk,” and immediately the man was healed and picked up his mat and walked away. How is Jesus asking you to pick up your mat today? The only life this man knew was on his mat in a perpetual state of waiting. When Jesus told him to pick up his mat, it meant leaving his place of comfortable excuses and putting ALL his trust in Jesus. Sometimes we can become so accustomed to our pain that it might even feel normal, but Jesus wants you whole and healed. In what area of your life is Jesus inviting you to trust him and step out of your comfort zone?

How many times have you asked (begged) God to “fix” your circumstances, whether it was an ongoing health issue, family troubles, financial worries, or any number of concerns and burdens, yet God seemed to be occupied elsewhere? This is when we must remember that our ways are not the Lord’s and his thoughts are much higher than ours. God has a much bigger perspective of what is going on in our lives. So how do we tap into this “God perspective”? We simply need to ask, “God, what is your perspective? What do you say about this situation?” It can be helpful to picture giving God your circumstance and asking him to show you how he sees it. What does it look like in God’s hands? Take time to sit with the Lord. Ask him questions and listen for his responses. Simply receive his deep love for you, abide in his healing presence, and see how your perspective changes.
