God Attribute, 39

 ~ God Heals ~

 

This Series  ~  This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction  ~  Those who are acquainted with the four Gospels in the New Testament are well aware of numerous recorded miracles performed by Jesus Christ while on earth.  Many of these miracles involved physical healing of individuals.  God also performs miracles in many other ways including those with emotional or mental problems.  The best news is that God is available to you!

 

Scripture  ~  “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.  The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all” (Psalm 34:17-19).

 

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3).

 

“There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them, and said, ‘If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians.  For I am the Lord who heals

You’” (Exodus 15:25-26).

 

In a future day ~ “Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people and heals the stroke of their wound” (Isaiah 30:26).

 

Comment  ~  Perhaps the biggest healing of all is when a sinner comes to Jesus Christ as their Savior and they are transformed from a sinner to a saint in God’s eyes.  They move from utter poverty to a joint heir of Christ to all that exists!  Do you know the peace that comes from that transaction?
