Shalom,

While I am in Israel I have been sharing a verse from each day's Bible Plan Reading that has ministered to me. The verse for today is found in Luke 17:19:

19And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.(KJV)

19And He said to him, Get up and go on your way. Your faith (your trust and confidence that spring from your belief in God) has restored you to health.(AMP)

This was the time when Jesus cleansed to 10 lepers of leprosy. Of the 10, only 1 returned to give Him thanks. They were all free from leprosy, but only the one who returned was made "whole", the Greek word, "sozo", which means: to make well, heal, restore to health, make whole! Now that will mean something to you if you understand the disease of leprosy! Look it up and see that it would cause disfigurement, to the loss of things like fingers and toes. THIS man was made WHOLE! That means any disfigurement was repaired, missing toes and fingers were replaced, He was restored in better health than he had been before! AMEN! Give God the thanksgiving and praise He so deserves for all of the good things He has done for you! AMEN!!!

Shalom in Him!
