Mark 7:31-37 tells us the story of the deaf and mute man whom JESUS healed.
This miracle is unique to the book of Mark. Not appearing anywhere else in the Gospels. Though Matthew records many other miracles that happened in the same region of Decapolis this one only appears in the Book of Mark.
When JESUS was in Decapolis, He spoke to the Gentiles about the Good News. Here is a principle for us to take home - if we have a problem, we bring it to CHRIST.
This miracle was so great and people responded to that saying in verse 37 HE has done all things well !
This is true from Genesis to Revelation. From my birth to going home. From sin to forgiveness...
When I don't understand situations in my life I can say - HE does all things well !
HE doesn't do things half and half or 95% or even 99.99% but when HE does something HE does it beyond what our needs and still adds to it Ephesians 3:20.
The way of the devil hasn't changed since Genesis. Sin has never delivered what it promises and GOD never fails with anything HE has promised. King Solomon said - "Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses." 1 Kings 8:56
HE not only restores but adds to it.
GOD does things well !
When doubts come in --- we cling to GOD's promises.
The Bee Humming Bird measuring just 5 - 6 inches, flies to the Panama in winter and back to North Canada in summer. Who taught the Bee Humming Bird where to go ? If GOD can order the this tiny bird's way how much more will GOD do for us (Matthew 6:26) !!!
In Mark chapter 16 JESUS sends the 1st message, after the resurrection to Peter. Not only did GOD forgive Peter for denying Him, but He also makes him the head of the church.
2 Kings 20:1-11 tells you the story of King Hezekiah who was going to die.GOD not only healed Hezekiah but adds 15 years to his life.
The life of CHRIST is good... Everything HE said was good and amazing !
What is that for us ?
Physical healing is good. But we want our eyes and mouth opened. We need to hear more from JESUS so that we can talk more about Him. I want to hear YOUR voice, what YOU want to say to me. The more we hear the more we are quickened. Rom 10:17
We want the deeper life - the doing of GOD's work - this gives us the satisfaction like nothing else.
