Oil played such an important role in Old Testament history. My daily Bible reading is taking me through the exodus of the Israelites and the setting up of the tabernacle in the wilderness. Over and over again oil is required for purifying of priests and preparation of sacrifices.
I walked out into our driveway Saturday, and this was the oil spot left after one of our cars backed out!
Seeing this oil spot, reminded me of the last time Nick was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He had been anointed with oil by our elders on three different occasions during the previous few years, and his first words after hearing the news of his diganosis were,
“Tell the elders to save their oil for their cars.”
It broke my heart in one sense and made me smile in another. Nick had such peace with God’s journey for his life. I didn’t, but Nick sure did!
When I saw a heart of oil that had fallen from our car this weekend, I knew that God was once again using oil. This time, though, He was using it to send a Valentine wish from Nick to our family!
I had to share the message with you today!
Physical healing seems to be our most fervent prayer when someone is sick, but what indescribable joy comes when we deeply believe that spiritual healing is what matters most.
Read closely these words from James. Healing comes when our sins are forgiven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James 5:13-16
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Praying you feel His anointing today!
Have a beautiful Valentine’s Day and know that God loves you passionately!
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
