The Lord Who Heals

Scripture:

“and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.””
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭15:26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Observation:

The people of Israel had just crossed the Red Sea and watched Egypt’s army drown in the Sea.  They were celebrating the goodness of God.  He had just caused bitter waters to be made sweet for them so they could drink.  God was letting them know they could trust Him and He would take care of them.  He promises them that if they will obey His statutes and commands He would put no diseases on them and then declares Himself to be the LORD who heals them.

Application:

God, when speaking of Himself, called Himself the LORD who heals you.  He has always taken care of His own.  If He can deliver His people from Egyptian bondage and heal them in the wilderness, He can definitely take care of me and heal me of whatever needs I have.  I want to know the Lord more and more as my healer.  I love doctors, but I have a covenant with the great physician.  One of His descriptive names is my healer.  I want to walk in healing in a greater level this year.

Prayer:

Lord, heal me and heal Your people.  Increase my faith in this area and let me know You as the Lord my healer.  You have healed me many times, let that not stop, but increase in my life, my family, and my church.  Heal Your people Lord, that we may declare Your goodness to the whole world.  You are the best,
