TURN TO GOD FOR HEALING Poem Devotional

September 8________________________________________
Plug their ears and shut their eyes. That way, they will not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their hearts and turn to me for healing.
-Isaiah 6:10(NLT)
TURN TO GOD FOR HEALING
A poem and essay by ILMA
When something besets you in life
You would want to turn to Christ
He can make you unable to hear or see
He wants you to rely on him regularly.
When you rely on yourself for things
He will make you unable to see
This way you can turn to him for healing
He is waiting for you to depend on him.

The Israelites took an eleven-day journey into a forty year wandering. Why did they take that long? They were complaining and very stubborn people and had little faith. Despite all the miracles that God provided for them so they can increase their faith, they actually turned their backs on him and worshiped other Gods. So, God made them unable to hear and see what he is planning to do for them. All that God wants them to do is to obey and to stay faithful and look up to his promises. He didn’t want them to be self-sufficient and independent.
Don’t we behave like the Israelites at times? Don’t we resort to many things to heal ourselves instead of running to the greatest healer of all times?

PRAYER
Lord, help me never to forget to rely on you especially for healing.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God makes us unable to hear and see some of his plans?

THE GREAT RESTORER Poem Devotional

May 30________________________________________
I will give you back your health and heal your wounds. – Jeremiah 30:17(NLT)
THE GREAT RESTORER
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you are going through much pains
Run to the Lord for he will break your chains
He will restore you and will heal your illnesses
He is also concerned with your spiritual wellness.
He promised to heal all our wounds
Let us receive it and so we will abound
Let us run to Jesus Christ, the great restorer
Only in him will we be healthier and wealthier.

Is there anyone who can give you a guarantee of healing and restoration? We go to the doctor to find out what might be wrong with us, but they can never give us an assurance that we will be well again. The medicine that he might prescribe might or might not work. He may not be able to totally figure out what is wrong with us because he can only diagnose based on what information we give him. We cannot rely also on other kinds of healing because they do not work a hundred percent.
There is however, only one who can restore and heal all our wounds, suffering, pain and illnesses. The great restorer is Jesus Christ. He gave us life, so he can repair it because he is the only source of our existence. Rely only on the one who gave you life, our Lord.
