God Blesses & Heals You
Jeremiah becomes object lesson
for what’s soon to befall Judah.
The prophet is commanded to
remain celibate and avoids feast
days; a reminder to his countrymen
that they will soon experience
involuntarily what Jeremiah is
called to experience voluntarily.
For loss of comfort and joy await
God’s rebellious people. But then
God’s discipline is still redemptive.
Lord, we will Trust & Cling to You:
Cursed is the man who trusts
in man and makes flesh his
strength, whose heart departs
from the Lord (Jeremiah 17:5).
Blessed is the one who Trusts in the
Lord, whose confidence is in Him.
They will be like a tree planted
by the water that sends out its
roots by the stream. It does not
fear when heat comes; its leaves
are always green. It has no worries
in a year of drought and never
fails to Bear Fruit (Jer 17:7-8).
Heal me O Lord & I will be Healed,
Save me and I shall be saved,
for You are the one I praise…
(for) You are my hope in the
day of doom (v14, 17). Amen.
Lord, let me not trust in man, but
rather put complete Trust in You.
Thank You Lord for Your promise
to bring forth fruit in my life;
and make my soul prosperous
even during the long dry spells.
Help me Lord not to turn from You;
instead regularly lead me to go
deep into You, even as I feed
on Your Word each day. Amen.
Lord, You are good & I trust in You
for You are my hope & confidence.
Draw me ever closer to You and
give me a passion to seek You.
Help me to Be Fruitful even during
life’s dry season and into old age.
Help me to put my roots deep
into You and Your Word that I be
able to endure hard times and wait
for Your sure deliverance. Amen.
Lord, really grateful that You came
as our Healer besides our Saviour.
In Your mercy, I ask for Your healing
touch upon my friends who need it,
especially those with severe illness.
Having experienced Your divine
healing several times, I know when
You heal, we can be healed fully.
At the same time, grant us the
discipline to take proper care
of our physical body. Amen.
