I had been having on/off pain in the top of my foot. When it kicked in, it was hard to walk on it. A few days ago, I was riding our air-dyne exercise bike while reviewing my scripture memory verses. Among them were a few verses on healing someone had sent after my knee replacement surgery.

I am the Lord who heals you. (Exodus 15.26, NIV)

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am faint. Heal me for my bones are in agony. (Psalm 6.2, NIV)

I asked the Lord for healing for my foot.  A few minutes later I had finished my workout, and as I was taking my shoes off to put my sweat pants on, I remembered that the shoe salesman said I should be in thin socks, not the cushy thick socks I was wearing at the time. So I put on a pair of the thin socks he had sold me. Voila! No more pain. Praise the Lord.

You do not have because you do not ask! (James 4.2, ESV)

Today, I was encouraged as I reviewed another healing verse:

LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. (Psalm 30.2, NIV)
