“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) We’ve heard this verse many times and possibly can even quote it, but have you stopped and really read…
“Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.” Job 5:17-18 Eliphaz was convinced that God was punishing Job for something that he had done wrong, or some…
He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3, Holy Bible, New King James Version) The human body has a natural healing process. Cut your finger and within days, new skin forms to seal the open wound. Deeper cuts may need stitches but still heal within a few…
“Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean” (2 Kings 5:14). In 2 Kings Chapter 5, we read the account of…
“And it shall come to pass, that everything that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river cometh.” Ezekiel 47:9…
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:6 During the last few months I have been going through a lot of tests and ended up having two surgeries…
It takes time for the healing process to become apparent to the eye. When a wound is inflicted, the body responds immediately to the crisis but the results are not yet visible. God’s response to wounded emotions, broken hearts and hurt feelings are not always obvious. While the casual observer is unaware of the healing process, I am intimately aware of the guidance and support He provides during the critical rebuilding phase. “Praise ye the Lord…He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds” (Psalm 147:1,3 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible).
Prayer: Lovingly and patiently You restore the broken pieces of my life. Thank You, Lord Jesus!

- Jesus performed a miracle healing a young girl. He continued to His destination, but He and the disciples were not alone. Two desperate followed, then intruded in the home where Jesus was a guest. He didn’t ignore them, or have them thrown into the street. He questioned their faith, not their unfavorable social etiquette.
- “When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, ‘Son of David, have mercy on us!’ And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord.’ Then He touched their eyes, saying, ‘According to your faith let it be to you.’ ” (Matthew 9:26-29 from the Holy Bible New King James).
