God doesn’t choose the way we choose. He never writes you off. He never gives up on you.

Today’s Scripture
Then Jesus told her, “I AM the Messiah!”
John 4:26, NLT

Irrevocable
Jesus had stopped and was waiting at a well in Samaria when a woman came to get water. He asked her for something to drink. She said, “Sir, Jews don’t have anything to do with us Samaritans. Why are You asking me?” Jesus said, “If you knew who I am, you’d ask and I would give you living water.” Then he told her all about her life, how she had had five husbands and was living with a sixth man. There’s no doubt that people looked down on her and shamed her. She knew there was something special about Jesus. She said, “We know that one day the Messiah will come.” Jesus said to her, “I AM the Messiah.” The first person Jesus ever told that He was the Savior wasn’t the high priest or the Sanhedrin. He chose this despised woman whom society had written off as a moral failure.

God doesn’t choose the way we choose. He never writes you off. He never gives up on you. His calling on your life is irrevocable, which means He doesn’t change His mind.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You chose me to be Yours before I chose You and that my mistakes and failures cannot nullify Your calling. Thank You that You come to the well where I am to give me eternal life even though You know everything about me. I declare that You are my Messiah. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

SECTION TWO

Did you know that when Jesus walked on earth, more than two-thirds of His ministry involved healing the sick? He went about healing the sick and all who came to Him were healed. The Bible records that “the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.”

I wish that somebody in Hollywood would produce that scene in Luke 6:19. You see the sick, lame, and blind coming to Jesus. And every time one of them touches Him, BAM!

His healing virtue is powerfully released and the person is healed and overjoyed! That’s a powerful image to have in your mind whenever you are believing God for healing!
