And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, He saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? John 5:5-6
Jesus heals the lame man, but when He asks us Wilt thou be made whole of our vices, do you put it off until tomorrow? There are times when I'm at a buffet and Christ reminds me that aggravates one of my vices. By piling my plate high to get my money's worth, does that tell Jesus that I want Him to heal me some time later after I've indulged? The same could be true of vices like drinking, gambling, sex, drugs, technology, etc. What do we say to our Lord when He asks us Wilt thou be made whole?
What Do Our Actions Say When Jesus Calls Us? Sometimes, the lack of action conveys more than we imagine, but there's still time to make changes! Yeah, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for Thee; the Desire of our soul is to Thy name, and to the remembrance of Thee. Isaiah 26:8
