Daily Devotion - Healing Is For Today.

He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed -Isaiah 53:5.

Healing was. Healing is. And healing will be. Past, present and future. Healing is here to stay until time wraps up like a scroll and opens into eternity where healing will not be needed as man will be in either of two places, heaven or hell. Healing will definitely no longer be needed in either.

God says, "My son, give attention to my Words; incline your ears to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of you heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh." -Prov. 4:20-22.

He further says in Proverbs 3:1, "My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you."  God lets us know in so many places in His written word that healing is here for as long as there is time. Here are a few...

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 His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought upon the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you -Exod. 15:26.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction -Ps. 103:3,4a.
He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction -Ps. 107:20.
He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree that we, having died to sins might live to righteousness - by whose stripes you were healed -1 Pet 2:24.

Healing is here to stay as long as the earth remains.

Prayer: Lord, there are many who still do not believe healing is for today and tomorrow just as it was shown yesterday by Your apostles. Help our unbelief. Amen.

Encouragement; Believe in the Lord and all His benefits for you. Stay in His word and in fasting and prayer.
