I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;

Creating the praise of the lips.

Says the Lord, “and I will heal him.”

Devotional Video Transcript:

It is the sole prerogative of God to remove spiritual disease. Natural disease may be instrumentally healed by men, but even then the honor is to be given to God who gives virtue unto medicine and bestows power unto the human frame to cast off disease. As for spiritual sicknesses, these remain with the great Physician alone; he claims it as his prerogative, “It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal;” (Deuteronomy 32:39 NASB) and one of the Lord’s choice titles is Jehovah-Rophi, “the Lord that heals you”. “I will heal you of your wounds,” is a promise which could not come from the lip of man, but only from the mouth of the eternal God.

On this account, the psalmist cried unto the Lord, “Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed,” (Psalm 6:2 NASB) and again, “Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.” (Psalm 41:4 NASB) For this, also, the godly praise the name of the Lord, saying, He “heals all your diseases.” (Psalm 103:3 NASB) He who made man can restore man; he who was at first the creator of our nature can create it new. What a transcendent comfort it is that in the person of Jesus – “...all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form!” (Colossians 2:9 NASB)

My soul, whatever your disease may be, this great Physician can heal you.
If he be God, there can be no limit to his power. Come then with the blind eye of darkened understanding, come with the limping foot of wasted energy, come with the maimed hand of weak faith, the fever of an angry temper, or the illness of shivering despondency, come just as you are, for he who is God can certainly restore you of your plague. None shall restrain the healing virtue which proceeds from Jesus our Lord. Legions of devils have been made to own the power of the beloved Physician, and never once has he been baffled. All his patients have been cured in the past and shall be in the future, and you shall be one among them, my friend, if you will but rest yourself in him this night.
