Don't forget to Give Thank to Lord for every Miracles

Luke 17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,  
Has been described in the previous topic that the ten lepers was experiencing the healing when in the middle of the road to the Priests. But when they experience the healing, only one man who returned to Jesus to give thanks for the miracles that have been receipt. I'm sure before this one came back, surely have been happened a debate among them. This one surely ask the nine others come again to Jesus to say thank you and give thanks, but the nine others still insist on continuing their journey to the Priests.
Why do they insist to meet the Priest? Because the Priests has right to verify that they has been healed or not. If they have recovered then they will be cleansed, and they will be received again join in their community.

Leviticus 14:2-4 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 

In this case we see that the nine lepers who has been healed more interested seeking recognition from priest than came to Jesus to give thanks. This means they are more important to seek recognition from the world than give thanks to God. Miracles just change their bodies from the sick body into a healthy body but not changing their habits. They still remain on the old life that focused on the things of the world.

Things like this are still we see today. There are people who have experienced the blessing of God even miracles, but did not come to glorify and serve the Lord. Perhaps they have been saved from an embarrassing bankruptcy same like disease of leprosy, some of them maybe has been cured from illness which the can not be cured by doctor, or some of them maybe rescued from a broken family, but when the situation has been restored, they did not come to the Lord to give thanks and serve him. On the contrary they go to the world and proudly tell their new circumstances and re-live the old life pattern.

My brother and sister, be like this one. When the miracle happened in his life, he came to the Lord and glorify the Lord more than glorify himself by seeking recognition of the world. Let us count how many blessings and miracles that we have received from God. Have you come to Him to say give thanks and serve him?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank you for blessings and miracles that have a lot we received from thee. Teach us to be like the one leper who returned to you to give thanks for the miracles that he had received. Let we serve you as a thanksgiving for all Thy goodness. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen
