WHO HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES

 

EVENING DEVOTION by James Smith

JULY 6

 

Psalm 103:3

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

who healeth all thy diseases.

 
The Lord is the Physican, he heals both the body and the soul.
 
The patient is a believer.
 
The cause of all disease and suffering is sin.
 
The seat of the malady is in the heart.
 
The nature of it is most loathsome and afflictive.
 
It affects the memory, the affections, the conscience, the will, yea the whole man.
 
We are all the subjects of this disease. We all suffer from it.
 
No one can heal us but the Lord Jesus.
 
He is the great Physician, to him we may repair and be restored to health.
 
To encourage you to do so, look at his qualifications. He is infinitely wise, tender, and skilful.
 
His experience is without a parallel; and so is his success.
 
The remedies he employs are his precious blood, this holy word, and his blessed Spirit.
 
The mode of application is by afflictions, bereavements, convictions, and secret energy.
 
He never failed in any case of effecting a cure.
 
David’s was a bad case, but he could say, “He healeth all my diseases.”
 
This testimony is personal, credible, undoubted.
 
Sinners, thou are sick; mortally sick, go to Jesus.
 
Backslider, thou art sick, go to Jesus.
 
Believer, art thou not desiring perfect health?
 
Then go to Jesus this night.
 

Forgive, and make my nature whole,

My sinful maladies remove,

To perfect health restore my soul;

To perfect holiness and love.

 
James Smith
