My Healer

 Scripture:

“He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭15‬:‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

God had just bought the people of Israel out of Egyptian bondage and they had traveled three days into the desert. They came to a place with some water, but it was bitter water and not good for them to drink. God showed Moses a piece of wood and told him to throw it into the water. When he did, the water was made pure and drinkable. It was after that incidence that the above verse comes and God reveals Himself as the Lord who heals you. There was a condition to the healing though, they must listen carefully and do what was right in God’s eyes. They had to keep His commands, and then the promise of healing would be theirs. 

Application:

Many want healing, but don’t want to walk in obedience to the ways of God. Covenants work both directions. When one party does what they are suppose to do, the other party gives what they agreed to. God is a healer, but He also want his people to walk in obedience to His word. I want to walk in divine health and for my body to be made well. I want to age well and not have any sickness or disease in my life. I’ve watched God heal so many times in my life. Therefore, I must walk in obedience to Him every day.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are incredible and You are faithful to Your promises. Your love for Your people is awesome and Your word stands forever. Help me to walk in alignment with Your words and to obey Your decrees. Heal my body of everything that is not functioning properly. Renew my youth like the eagles as I honor You and obey Your words. I want to be healthy and have energy to preach Your word all the days of my life.

Your Son,

Jeff
