Response to healing from Jesus

​s-Luke 17:14-19 NIV

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. 16 He 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.”
O- This is a lesson for all those healed by Jesus and our response to His good works.  Jesus saw the group of lephers approach him for healing and when he saw them command them to go show the priests you have been cleansed (because he healed them as they went).  One of them came back praising God when he had seen he had been healed.  The other nine we can assummed kept traveling to show themselves to the priests.  
A -  How much am I like the 9 who pray for healing and restoration and when God answers my prayers I continue to focus on the worries around me.   I wish to follow the example of the Samaritan who was healed and immediately turned back to praise God.  
P - Dear heavenly Father , thank you for today's devotion may it be sealed to my heart. 
I pray for healing from my addiction and the healing of my marriage so that I might live the life you have planned for me.  I pray this in Jesus Christ name,  Amen.
