Everyday Burned Healing

​I did something stupid. I put a cup of hot water in the microwave to heat for tea. When I went get the mug the boiling water spilled on my hand, and I had a second-degree burn.  After two weeks I still had scabs and it was disgusting.  It throbbed with pain the first four days and when I’d look at it, I’d think; “It will always hurt this much. It will never get better.”   Of course, it wasn’t true, but I felt it.
But time and prayer bring healing. In Genesis 8 God says that as long as the earth remains, there will be “seedtime and harvest.”  When you walk in God’s path, you must be patient like the farmer who plants the seed and expectantly waits for the harvest and then looks forward to reaping the harvest.  But there is a time between seed planting and harvest. Don’t become frustrated in that process. Galatians 6:9; “Don’t give up.” God is on it. He knows…everyday.
