Commentary from Pastor Michael White:
…and [God] said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” – Ex 15:26
God promised His people that if they obeyed His commandments, He would keep them healthy. None of the diseases that impacted the rest of the known world would fall on them. God is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb 13:8). His word has not changed, and His will has not changed, even when it comes to physical health!
For the Jewish people, “obeying God’s commandments” meant upholding every letter of the Law. However, in the context of our new relationship with God through Jesus Christ, “obeying His commandments” simply means accepting Jesus as Lord of your life! The moment you trust in Jesus for salvation, you can trust in Him for healing: just as the Israelites did thousands of years ago.
God is Jehovah Rapha. That is Hebrew for “The God Who Heals.” Healing is not just something He does; it is Who He Is. God wants you healthy! Your healing does not depend on God’s mood; it depends on His identity. God is The God Who Heals every day. He is willing to heal all His children, all the time. Have faith that when you ask Him for complete healing, He will heal you!
Prayer:
Father, thank You for being the Healer! I know You are the God Who Heals. I speak perfect health over my body in Jesus’ name!
