In the book of Luke, nestled in amongst the stories of the most incredible healings are two short verses. When I first read them, I wondered why they were there, they seemed of such little consequence. But knowing what an amazing God we serve; He would not put these two verses in His Word without thought or for no reason.

These verses tell us that Jesus came to Peterโs house, Peter was married, and this was his mother-in-law. There were no crowds in this house, Jesus didnโt heal Peterโs mother-in-law to show off His credentials or to spread the word. ๐๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ, ๐๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ, ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น.
These two beautiful verses show us that Jesus cares about even the smallest of problems in our lives. This was simply a fever, not leprosy, not blindness, but ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ. He reached out and touched her hand, healing her. No problem, no sickness, no pain is too small that we cannot take it to the LORD. He cares about every hair on our head and His thoughts toward us are more numerous than the grains of sand upon the beach!
More importantly, what should we do about these two verses? How do they speak to us? How do they change us? Luke tells us that โ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.โ After a touch from the LORD our response should be to serve Him! When Jesus brings healing and restoration into our lives, our desire should be to serve Jesus. ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ธ๐ณ๐๐น ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐บ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ ๐บ๐๐๐!
