The Ministry of Health and Healing
is watching over you, trembling child of God. Are you tempted?
He will deliver. Are you weak? He will strengthen. Are you
ignorant? He will enlighten. Are you wounded? He will heal.
The Lord “counts the number of the stars,” and yet “He heals the
brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Psalm 147:4, 3
.
Whatever your anxieties and trials, lay your case before the Lord.
Your spirit will be braced for endurance. The way will be open for
you to disentangle yourself from embarrassment and difficulty. The
weaker and more helpless you know yourself to be, the stronger will
you become in His strength. The heavier your burdens, the more
blessed the rest in casting them upon your Burden Bearer.
Circumstances may separate friends; the restless waters of the
wide sea may roll between us and them. But no circumstances, no
distance, can separate us from the Savior. Wherever we may be, He
is at our right hand to support, maintain, uphold, and cheer. Christ’s
love for His redeemed is greater than the love of a mother for her
child. It is our privilege to rest in His love, to say, “I will trust Him,
for He gave His life for me.”
Human love may change, but Christ’s love never changes. When
we cry to Him for help, His hand is stretched out to save.
“‘The mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,’
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.”
Isaiah 54:10
