Then
Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of
Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. When they
came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter;
therefore it was named Marah. So the people grumbled at Moses, saying,
"What shall we drink?" Then he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD
showed him a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became
sweet. There He made for them a statute and regulation, and there He tested
them. And He said, "If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD
your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments,
and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have
put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer." Exodus 15:22-26
Pain and
sickness draw us to the cross—to the feet of Jesus, pleading for healing.
Healing for ourselves and for our loved ones. Rapha means “to restore,” to
“heal” or “to make healthful” in Hebrew. Right now I humbly come to the Lord God, Jehovah-Raphe,
asking Him to heal and restore my niece Michelle to health. She has been
struggling with pancreatitis for about five months and is now in Virginia Mason
Hospital in Seattle dealing with draining fluids associated with the pancreatitis that have accumulated in her
body. I ask for a miracle for her—to restore
her health. Please join me—asking the Lord God, our Jehovah-Raphe, to be
merciful. God is good. I claim these verses for Michelle:
·
For I will
restore you to health and I will heal you of your wounds, declares the LORD….
Jeremiah 30:17
·
The Spirit of
the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to
the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty
to captives and freedom to prisoners….Isaiah 61:1
·
Bless the
LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your
iniquities, who heals all your diseases….Psalms 103:2-3.
·
Many followed
Him (Jesus), and He healed them all…. Matthew 12:15
We can only
trust…and obey.
RSVP: Jesus is
challenging us today to trust Him—to allow Him to heal us. Will you trust Him?
How will you respond today?
Prayer~ O
LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health. Psalms 30:2
NLT. I praise You and thank you for Your healing touch.
