Healing for Today
" Let all that I am Praise the LOrd, may I never forget the good things He does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies." Psalm 103:2-5
Sister, Sister.... I know there's so many times you aren't feeling your best. You may be emotionally drained; psychologically confused and your body feels like it's stalled on the side of the road. Do you wonder to yourself, "Why am I always going through something? First, my mind is being attacked and then, this body throbs from my toes to my follicles. There has to be a breaking of the chains of my affliction."
We hear of people being healed miraculously from cancer and other terminal illnesses often. Do you ever wonder if just a little of that could lean your way? Let's think. Many women in the scripture have faced similar issues from barrenness to diseases and even promiscuous lifestyles. All healed by the Hand of the Almighty God. Is that healing available to me today? If you are wondering if God can heal you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually... The answer is YES! Our God is the same yesterday, today and for all eternity. The question is... will He? That is in His sovereign hand. ..........However, we must ask ourselves, Do I trust Him to heal me? Do I trust the Power of God? the Love of God? and the plan of GOd? Romans 10:11 says ... "Anyone who trusts in God will never be disgraced." He will not turn His back on you or forsake His Word. So when we are surrounded by affliction, trials, tests or even temptation, we know that He is with us and in us.
Sometimes our pursuit of healing and relief is selfishly motivated. You are probably saying... " What is wrong with wanting relief, healing and an easier life?" Do we ever consider how the healing, deliverance or the change will bring glory to Christ? Will you take the opportunity to testify to others about the mercy and grace of God so that others will believe in His power and Love? Yes! Healing is for you today! As we look at the scripture above, David was Praising God and rejoicing in all of what God had done.One thing that you can see in that passage is David did not keep it to himself. Healing is not for you to rush through the process to get out of the pain and miss the providential care God has extended to you along the way! He is in the midst and there is always a greater purpose than our personal satisfaction when it comes to moments of trial. So, as we look for God to send healing our way, let's not forget to Praise Him for all He has done and look for a way to testify of His Grace. Yes Sister, there is healing for you as you place your trust in Jesus Christ. Dear Sister, Trust in God!
Prayer Focus:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you and I praise you for all of who you are. Thank you for healing me spirit, soul and body. I trust in Your loving, sovereign Hand. Teach me how to trust You more. I agree with You and Your Word concerning my healing. Help me not to be anxious or to fear.
In Jesus' Name
Amen
Application Exercise
Let's look at some of the women in scripture that have experienced healing. Find one or two and read their story. Ask the text some questions as you read. Who else was blessed as a result of their healing or deliverance? Now as you ponder on your own healing, think about how your healing can glorify God and help others. Think about all the benefits that come along with trusting the Lord along the way. We hope you find encouragement through the character studies and continue to trust in God.
