THE GOD WHO HEALS

 

Exo 15:22 So Moses brought 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. 

Exo 15:23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. 

Exo 15:24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 

Exo 15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 

Exo 15:26  And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. 

Exo 15:27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters. 

 

          Very soon after leaving Egypt, the Israelites complained because they found only bitter [maw-raw’] water. They had much to complain about as slaves. So, they were free, but they had not yet abandoned their habit of complaining.

 

          God gave them a promise, and we see another “I AM”. They learned that healing comes from the same God who freed them. Doctors are said to “practice” medicine because they know that God is the healer. Smart doctors learn to partner with Him.

 

Thank you, Lord, for gifting doctors and nurses with skill. Greatly help those who partner with you. AMEN
