He Does All Things Well

# 482 - Today's Living Word comes from Mr 7:36,37 “Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

Jesus brings the formerly deaf man back to the crowd. This miracle is just another in a series of miracles he performed among the people of the Decapolis. In Matthew's account of this incident we see that Jesus also caused the lame to walk, the blind to see, and the maimed to be made whole.

I can't help but think of the people who have disabilities in this life. Whether they were born with them or picked them up along the way through this minefield we call life, we know that one day, through faith in Jesus Christ, they will be in heaven with perfectly restored bodies.

And on THAT DAY, when all who are in Christ, stand on that glassy sea, we will join in the chorus that was sung right here in Mr 7:37, “He has done all things well!”

Well, it won't be those exact words, but it'll be close! Re 15:2b,3 says we will be “standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!”

Isn't that just another way of saying, He does all things well! But why wait until that final day. Why not join in the chorus today, praising our God who indeed does all things well. For we among all people should know “ that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Rom 8:28)
