Exhortation:
There was a terribly mad man who lived in the tombs. No one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain because he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of Him in worship. At the end of the day, he recovered from his incurable madness. Mark 5:1-13
Madness and other forms of sickness disappear in an atmosphere of worship. King Saul’s raving insanity vanished away any time David worshipped God on his instruments. 1 Samuel 16:14-23.
According to today’s text, when some strangers initially took over the capital city of Samaria and lived in its towns they did not worship the Lord; so he sent lions among them and they killed some of the people. The situation continued until they learnt God’s ways. 2 Kings 17:24-28.
Most people are victims of avoidable calamities because they have refused to surrender in worship to their Maker and Saviour.
When you dedicate quality time to the worship of God, He has promised to bless your food and water; and to take sickness away from you. Exodus 23:25
Reflective Nugget: Your mountains will disappear in the atmosphere of God’s worship.
