The God Who Heals
A Reflection on Exodus 15:26 and Psalm 103:2-3
The God who heals—not a distant, silent force,
But the Lord who sees your sickness and charts a healing course.
He is the Great Physician, the Mender of the crushed,
The One who hears your cry and moves when you have almost hushed.
“I am the Lord, who heals you.” (Exodus 15:26)
He heals the brokenhearted—the wounds no scalpel finds,
The secret grief, the silent ache, the guilt that haunts the mind.
He binds up every bruise and gathers every tear,
And whispers, “You are not alone; beloved, I am here.”
He heals the body—the fever, the pain, the long disease.
He touched the leper, raised the dead, and calmed the raging seas.
No illness is too stubborn, no diagnosis too grim,
For the God who heals is with you, and nothing can limit Him.
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all His benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. (Psalm 103:2-3)
Sometimes the healing comes in lightning, sudden, complete.
Sometimes it comes through doctors, through medicine, through time and patient feet.
Sometimes the healing waits for heaven, where no sickness ever stays,
But even in the waiting, He is working in mysterious ways.
So bring your sickness, bring your pain, bring your weary, worn condition.
The God who heals invites you to a place of full remission.
Not always in the way you ask, but always in His love,
He touches you with power from the throne of heaven above.
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds you are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)
I trust You, Healer God. In Your hands, I leave my frame.
You know my frame; You remember I am dust, but You are not the same.
You are the God who heals. And in Your time, Your way,
I will rise and give You glory for the healing You display.
Amen.
