IN GOD’S WORD WE FIND LIFE AND HEALING
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
The whole Bible is God’s Word, which reveals to us: Who our Lord is, what His will is, what pleases and what upsets Him, how to live and behave in all situations, how to cope in good and bad times, how to serve God and how to receive what we need from Him, all His promises and so much more.
King Solomon was instructing his son to listen to his words. If they were just his words, they would not bring life or health, but he was offering his son, God’s Word. We need to learn to pay attention to God’s teachings and fill our hearts with it, in order to receive the life that comes through it and get the healing that we need.
God’s Word has the power to heal and restore, but we have to focus on it and not on the sickness or its symptoms. We keep our faith to receive the healing we need by feeding our hearts and minds with God’s truth.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Heavenly Father, please help me gather Your Word into my heart and fill my mind with Your truth. Please help me to not focus on the sickness and its symptoms, to not fall into doubt, but to keep a firm faith in Your will and power to make me whole again. Sickness and pain, you have no place in me, in the Name of Jesus, I am healed and made whole again. Amen
