Luke 17:11-19

Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy

¹¹ Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. ¹² As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance ¹³ and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵ One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. ¹⁶He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

Did you know that one of ten people thank God ? Are you part of that one? I find that i do sometimes get so caught up in things that i forget to thank him. When it's time to talk to him, that's when i thank him. It's similar to an alarm. When i wake up from an alarm i usually press the snooze button so that i can sleep longer. Similar to our walk with God, i get so caught up with the many distractions that when the alarm goes off, i just press snooze so it can wait for later.

This snooze button tells God, "Wait this is more important than you" Do you want God to be like that in your life? He is a patient God but he should always be put as your #1. We often forget to thank him or take things for granted. God is an almighty and amazing God. He should be thanked every step of the way.
