Blessed Be The Lord

Good Morning!! About the only thing worse than finding out you're sick,...is being sick and not realizing it. Only when we see our sickness will we come to the physician for healing. This is what Jesus was referring to when He said, "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick" (Mark 2:17). Because God is the great healer, He is therefore also the great wounder. He faithfully chastens each of His children, into a realization of their guiltiness and emptiness,...before a Holy God, and a bankrupt world.

Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name...who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,—Psalm 103:1,3 (NIV)

 

"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten" (Revelation 3:19). He wounds so that He then can heal. No one has ever come to God for soul repair and been turned away. David confesses, "I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me" (Psalm 30:2).

 

 You can rest assured, that the great Physician will heal you,...it is for the sick that He is come.

 

Holy Spirit, help us come to know our need of healing. Bring us like David, to pray, "Lord, be merciful unto us: heal our soul", that we may be blessed, like David,...to see God as our soul-restoring Shepherd (Psalm 23). Amen.
