Mark 3:1-6
1 Another time he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there.
2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.
3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone."
4 Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent.
5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.
6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

The man Christ healed is described as having a "withered hand." With professional accuracy, Luke alone tells us that it was his right hand. Since most people are right-handed, his right hand was especially important to him since he likely needed it to work. In addition, only the man's hand was withered or shriveled, not his whole arm, apparently the result of paralysis due to some accident or disease rather than a congenital deformity. It was Jesus policy neither to break a bruised reed nor to snuff out a smoldering wick. In faithfulness he bring forth justice (Isaiah 42:3)

This man was in the right place-where he should have been-on the Sabbath day. If he had stayed home that day, would he have had this wonderful opportunity to be healed? The same principle holds true regarding our own "Sabbath" attendance with others of God's Church. If we fail to attend services, mid-weeks, fellowships, prayer times and other spiritual activities we are going to miss out on the spiritual healing God provides through the inspired messages from His Word, as well as the encouragement of the brethren to press on in faith and obedience to God.

Can you see a bruised reed or withered hand in your spiritual walk? Jesus is handy.
