All tagged healer
We all know the old saying that time heals all wounds, but as hopeful as that sounds it is not as true as we are asked to believe. In fact, the sole healer of all wounds is God. Time and natural processes might heal a wound to a degree, but it always leaves behind a telltale scar. God, on the other hand, heals us perfectly, and our scars are gone, replaced with the remembrance of the wounds of Christ.
God is our defender and provider, but He is also a healer of people and nations. Whether it be from pandemic, invasion, or our own sinfulness, He can save us, restore our wealth, and rebuild those things we have lost. Our God is merciful and good in his provision, and true to His Word in delivering on His promises. In every age He has healed, and now in this unfaithful age we are living in, we need His healing touch once more.
In Psalm 41 David writes of being sick, and how his enemies want the worst for him, but the real story here is that our God heals, and will often do so despite our prognosis, or the desires of others. Are any of us sick today? Do we have cancer, COVID, monkey pox, or perhaps something as routine as a cold, or headache? Whatever it is that sickens us, have we taken it to our Father, the great healer, by praying in faith, in His will, and in the name of His Son Jesus for relief? Or, have we simply made an appointment with a doctor, or taken a couple of aspirin, and decided to heal ourselves? Well, it is prudent to take the aspirin that God has provided, or seek help from medical professionals, but before, during, and after that, we should lift up our sicknesses before the Lord in prayer, and ask that if it be His will, that He heal us.
