Jehovah Rapha - The Lord who heals us

I am the Lord who heals you. Exodus 15:26.
                        Our God is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals us. The Hebrew word Rapha or Raphe means “to heal”, “to restore” or “to make healthful”. God can heal any kind of our diseases by sending His word and delivering us. Praise the Lord oh my soul and forget not all His benefits who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases -Psalm 103:2,3. He himself took all our weaknesses and carried all our diseases on the cross. By His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5.
                          If we fear the Lord and depart from evil, we will be nourished both physically and spiritually. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil, It will be health to your flesh. And strength to your bones - Proverbs 3:7,8. Our God heals us emotionally also. He heals all our deepest pains, disappointments and hurts. He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3.
                           God’s word brings us healing, health and life when we pay attention to it. It is the best medicine for us. My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes.  Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are Jehovah Rapha, our healer. Help us to pay attention to Your words that are life to us and health to all our flesh. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
