CROS-Fit #142 Now that you're healed, what's next?

We all pray for that miracle, that one miracle in out lives.

For the sake of illustration, let's take the oh so tender shoulder as an example.

So I've been praying for healing and for it to get better (It's really getting better, bit by bit, Praise God!)

But what I realized was that after I do get better, I'm really blessed to be surrounded by people who know injuries like that, whom know what you can or cannot do and how to get it stronger than it was before.

But for some people, it's really the opposite.

There're people whom pray for healing and when they get it, they jump straight in to lift heavy again, with no change in technique or mindset and what happens? Yeah, you can guess what happens....

We all pray for healing, and when we do get the healing, we go right back in to our lifestyle which led to that injury to begin with.

Say you've been having diabetes all this while and you somehow managed to overcome it, miraculously.

Then you go back to work and change not one bit in your lifestyle.

Then you contract diabetes again and curse God along the way.

Do you see the strange way we humans tend to treat our lives.

When we finally get our healing, what's next?
Are you gonna go back to work straight away, sit down in front of a desk and put your body in a bad position? Or are you going to get moving daily and get engaged in activities to prevent that injury or sickness?

I'm not trying to be a heretic here. But sometimes, I look at people whom raise their hands when theys ay they want healing in their bodies, I look at them and really wonder.

Do you really really want it?

If you get it, gosh you're gonna set yourself up for another injury coming back, then oh the cycle repeats.

Maybe that's what Jesus referred to when he said that "He could not do many miracles here due to their lack of Faith". (maybe something else, but hey, it's my interpretation of it)

Set up a plan for yourself.

Think, right now, when God does heal me, what am I going to do differently?

I got sick, I got injured for a reason. Something, somewhere, in my lifestyle went wayward.

It's as simple as that.

So think of a plan, think of a recovery plan for yourself.

Pushing it a little farther.

Maybe that's why God doesn't bless us with all the wishes we have in our prayer list.

Probably because the moment we're given it in front of our eyes.

We simply don't know what to do with it.

Blessings? Sure! Now that I've got it, erm.... Now what?

We all have to take that step back and be prepared for our blessings.

Prepare in Faith, prepare to succeed, set yourself up for that and not just to waste the blessings God has given you/

So students, God has given you your A's. What're you gonna do with that?

Working adults, you got your big break, that big promotion, what next? What're you gonna do with that?

Your response will dictate how far that blessing will go.

Your response will probably dictate the next blessing that is gonna come your way really soon.

Now that you're healed.

Now that you're blessed.

What's next?
