In one of my complete readings of the Bible, this text caught my attention in a special way. It is the second half of Psalm 26:1.
This short text teaches us several things.
What does it teach us? That we should trust.
Who does it say we should trust in? In the Lord, God of Israel, creator of heaven and earth and everything in them.
And how should we trust? We should trust WITHOUT WAVERING.
I recommend that you use this verse when you are going through some difficulty or when things are happening that you cannot understand.
We can find the answer to this question in three verses that I want to mention.
The Word of God says that “without faith it is impossible to please God.” So it is important that you have faith, because without it you cannot please God.
The Word also says “the righteous will live by faith, but if he draws back, he will not please me.”
We understand from this verse that it is also important that you have faith without wavering, that you remain firm in the faith in Christ Jesus, without turning back, because if you did, you would not please God.
And finally, let us look at the following: “But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Here we see the importance of maintaining our faith no matter what the cost, and also transferring it to our children, so that there is faith in the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Let's look at a few more verses.
Proverbs 27:1 says, “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.”
This text teaches us that we should speak prudently about tomorrow. It would be better to say, “If God is willing, we will do such and such a thing.”
We also read, “Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.” (Matthew 6:8)
Matthew 6:25 exhorts us “do not worry about your life” and Luke 12:29 mentions “do not worry about it.”
All of this teaches us that God will not let us suffer.
We must trust in such promises and not let ourselves be carried away by anguish.
If you or someone you know is going through an illness and you don't seem to be able to get that person healed when you pray, then please read the following.
First, you have to know that the sick person can be healed by the faith of others, no matter how great the faith of the sick person himself is. The example is what happened to the paralytic, some men brought him to the feet of Jesus, and the Word says that the paralytic was healed by their faith.
And if it were up to you to pray, either for yourself or for someone you know, you really don't need a very great faith. A little faith is enough. On one occasion Jesus said to those who followed him: “If you had faith as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this sycamore tree: be uprooted and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.”
In your own prayer you can say, “I have faith at least the size of a mustard seed, and in the Name of Jesus I command you, sickness, to leave this body and cast yourself into the sea.”
Another method of healing the sick is by laying hands on the body of the sick. Note that this act does not need to be accompanied by long, loud prayers. The Word says, “They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Lay hands on yourself or on a sick person, and this act alone is sufficient. If you wish, you can accompany it with a short prayer, “Lord, I lay my hands on this sick body, and Your Word says that by doing this the sick person will be healed. Lord, please honor Your promise right now.”
