HE HEALS ALL MY DISEASES

 HE HEALS ALL MY DISEASES

Ps. 103:3b He heals all my diseases. NLT

Today let us pause for a moment to consider God’s healing. I believe with all my heart that God’s Word is true. There is no physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual disease that is beyond God’s ability to heal. I also believe that it is up to God whether or not He chooses to heal us. If His healing touch will serve His purpose for our lives and bring glory to Him, He will heal us. If He chooses not to heal us, it is because He knows best what is needed. He knows what needs to be done in order to best grow us and His kingdom. If we are truly submissive to the Lord, we will accept what the Lord chooses to do and we will thank Him and praise Him for it.

He heals all our diseases. It does not mean that He will choose to heal us every time we are sick or have a disease of some kind. It does mean that He is Lord and can heal whatever may plague us. We must never forget that Jesus is Lord. He knows best what is needed in our lives. Sometimes our illnesses are needed for our development of faith. We need to learn to lean on Him unconditionally and when we are afflicted to turn to Him for help. Sometimes others need to see how we live by faith through our illnesses. Sometimes others need to see how an afflicted person is able to give glory to God, even in death. Whether in life or death, Jesus heals us according to His sovereign will for us.

We are encouraged to pray for good health, but we also are to submit to the sovereignty of God over us. It is not our will, but God’s that we should seek. Don’t be bashful about praying for healing, but be willing to accept God’s will if the healing we desire doesn't happen. Never forget that death is the greatest healing of all, for in death, we are brought into the presence of our Lord.
