Healing or Miracle
Typically when we talk of healing, that comes gradually. I have been sick lately, and it has been taking a long time to get better- very slowly, but I feel a little better each day. I get weak spells and can hardly stand up or lift my arms. I have had a low-grade fever for about five weeks, as of today my fever is finally going down again. I could not eat or drink without becoming sick, so they gave me medicine to help with that. I feel stronger everyday, and thank everyone for their prayers and the help of my family that took great care of me. We must continue in prayer and trust in Jesus to take us through. My healing has been gradual.
Sometimes though, we are healed instantly, as it speaks on in today’s verses from Matthew, which can be called a miracle. It depends on what Jesus has chosen for us at that time. He will use different experiences to draw us closer to Him and teach us great lessons of His mighty power and help us to see Him as He truly is. Just submit and trust in Him and you will see miracles.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

2-Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:
