Healing Power
“I am the Lord that healeth thee” (Exodus 15:26).
Among most people there is a liking for those things which are homemade. This is quite understandable in most things, for there is the personal skill and touch involved which imparts flavor and quality to them. There is a tremendous danger though, if we try to apply this to the soul’s salvation. Soul sickness will never respond to any human treatment. No home remedy will ever put away sin!
How sad it is that men still prefer homemade recipes to heaven-sent remedies. The bitten Israelites had but to look at the serpent of brass to live.
So today, there is no need for, nor accomplishment and value in, self treatment, for God says, “Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth” (Isaiah 45:22). What more can the poor guilty sinner need than to know the experience of the Psalmist, who declared of the Lord, “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases” (Psalm 103:3).
It is wonderful to be a forgiven sinner!
