True Healing Comes From This! (Daily Devotional 10/08)
Psalm 107:20 (KJV)
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
The world teaches us that healing is something we need to work for, something that only comes through medicine, doctors, and treatments. But the Bible reminds us that true healing comes from God alone. While doctors can play an important role in our health, they do not have the final say—God is the ultimate Healer, the Great Physician.
Psalm 107:20 speaks clearly: "He sent His word, and healed them." This healing is not just physical; it is spiritual, emotional, and complete. The Word of God carries power, and through the gospel, we are not only saved from sin but also healed from the sicknesses that plague us, both in body and spirit.
The word of God is the true medicine.
The world often instills fear when it comes to health. We’re told that our lives depend on doctors, diagnoses, and treatments, and while those are helpful, we must remember that they do not hold the ultimate power. God is the true doctor, and His Word is the medicine that brings healing. Healing is not a process we need to chase after it’s something that God has already declared over us through His Word.
Too often, Satan tries to make us doubt this truth. He plants seeds of fear, uncertainty, and worry, making us question whether healing is really ours. But the truth is, Jesus has already paid the price for our healing on the cross. Just as He carried our sins, He also carried our diseases and illnesses. He cried out, "It Is Finished" meaning we are already healed.
One of the biggest barriers to healing is our own mind. We trust what we see, think, feel, and hear above the truth of God’s Word.
But when we trust in God’s Word above our own thoughts, we unlock the power of healing that He has promised us. My mother’s testimony is proof of this. Despite the doubts, despite what doctors said, she chose to believe in the Word of God above her own thoughts, and through that faith, she experienced healing.
Satan loves to whisper lies, making us doubt whether we are truly healed. He points to symptoms, circumstances, and diagnoses, but our healing doesn’t come from what we see—it comes from what God has said.
Satan cannot steal what God has sealed and healed.
The gospel itself is the ultimate source of healing. When Jesus died and rose again, He not only saved us from eternal death but also made healing available to us in every area of our lives. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is the same power that heals us today. God's Word says we are healed, not that we will be healed. It’s already done.
Healing is not something we chase, it's something we embrace and accept by grace.
The doctors may have their opinions, but God has the final word, and His Word says you are healed. I hope we can boldly move forward with that heart and by faith.
Amen!
