Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in a YouTube video of images and lyrics from the group Point of Grace singing Heal the Wounds ... poignantly singing of God’s healing and restoring grace, leaving the scars to remind us of His love.

Highlight Verse[s]: Psalm 116:8-9 [NKJV] ... 8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
… God, thru His Son, delivers us from our sin wounds and allows us to walk free in the land of the living.

Highlight Passage: John 5:1-15 [NKJV] ... USE THIS LINK ... … Jesus shows His healing grace goes way beyond the dictates of the Law.
==============
Reference Passage : … Matthew 12:9-11 [NKJV] … USE THIS LINK …
… Jesus declare that helping to heal other is not forbid on the Sabbath.
My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Mart DeHaan, uses a marketing story to illustrate the importance of having the ability to help others walk in faith in this world. … The ODB author wrote: The ad brought a smile to my face: “The most comfortable socks in the history of feet.” Then, extending its claim of good news for feet even further, the advertiser said that because socks remain the most requested clothing item at homeless shelters, for every pair of socks purchased the company would donate a pair to someone in need.
In His earthly ministry, Jesus was confronted on several occasions by those accusing Him of doing work on the Sabbath when He showed compassion on the wounded and healing them on that Holy Day [see Matt. 12 and John 5 passages]. And our Lord showed them that healing or even helping an injured lamb, let alone a child of God on the Sabbath, takes priority over any Law, … which BTW was given to man by God to show us the need for a Savior anyway.
And the Lord really showed that principle Himself when His own feet were nailed to the cross to heal all mankind from our wounds of sin (see photo).
=============
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, ... for healing me from my sin wounds when You took those nails on that cross.
=============
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray, Lord, that all reading here will see that we walk free, healed of our wounds of sin, because His feet took those nails on the cross. … Amen
