Health and Life Come From God

 Scripture:

“Lord, your discipline is good, for it leads to life and health. You restore my health and allow me to live!”Isaiah‬ ‭38‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Hezekiah was given a word that he was going to die. He then went to the Lord in prayer and asked the Lord to extend his life. The Lord answered and gave him fifteen more years. This passage is part of a poem of praise Hezekiah wrote. He says that God’s discipline is good because it leads to life and health. 

Application:

Nobody likes discipline, but discipline helps us know how to live. As I get older and feel some of the aches and pains that I never used to, I look at verses like this and begin to claim my healing. God is a restorer of health when we turn to Him. I want to walk in God’s healing for others, but also for myself. 

Prayer:

Father, restore my health. Strengthen my body. Let my energy return. Heal my voice, especially for this trip coming up where I will be speaking a lot. Let Your healing come stronger and stronger in my life. 

Forever Yours,

Jeff
