Promises: The Healer

Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

God stands by the brokenhearted. But he doesn’t just stand by. He is not a passive onlooker. He comes to us in our brokenness as the Divine Doctor, the Sovereign Surgeon, the Holy Healer. He brings exactly what we need at the precise moment we need it, not a moment too soon, not a second too late.

God stands by the brokenhearted. He comes to broken bodies and broken dreams. He arrives at the right time with the right prescription and infuses us with the healing power of his Spirit. When he brings healing, confusion is driven away by calmness; panic is chased off by peace. He finds all the places where doubt has broken through and rebuilds the wall.

God stands by the brokenhearted. Difficult times can leave us in painful places. We feel like God has let us down and left us alone. The “Why?” question is never far from our minds. Spiritual and physical exhaustion is debilitating. God comes to bind up our pain. Don’t hide your hurt. Uncover your wounds so he can gently wrap them with his presence that always brings peace.

Heavenly Father, thank you for standing by me in my brokenness. Thank you for binding my wounds. Help me uncover any wound I may be hiding. Thank you for your powerful work in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
