him. It didn't matter to him that his own sister had been terribly cruel and critical of his choice for a wife. She was in need; she was suffering; and Moses begged God to fix it! We must learn to be that loving and faithful toward those who have offended or abused us in some way. 2) God loved Moses and his faithfulness, and He rewarded him for being such a diligent servant by healing his sister. BUT... He did not do it right away. He allowed Miriam to suffer for a period of time before the healing. I'm sure she learned a valuable lesson. And I suspect Moses strengthened in patience, too.

Sometimes we want God to help us - and we want it NOW! We have to learn that God is not in the business of bowing to our demands! We must remember that He loves us and wants what is best for us, and He can and will answer our prayers even heal us and our loved ones. But we must respect His authority and autonomy and His decisions regarding where, when and how this takes place.

Christian thoughts on the power of healing are as numbered as Christians themselves. NOTHING is too big for God to handle. NOTHING is beyond His capacity to heal. I am not saying God has given Oral Roberts or others the power to heal in His name. But the Bible tells me God did this in Acts - empowering His disciples to heal others - so why couldn't He empower 21st Century disciples? "Faith-healer" or not, I do believe that God hears the prayers of faithful servants who call on Him for healing - of any and all afflictions. It is my prayer that you will open your heart and mind and allow God to work in all areas of your life, and that you will be well in Christ!
