0

It seems everyone we encounter these days is in need of healing.  Whether it is physical, emotional, relational and/or spiritual- the need is real and necessary.  In Exodus 15:26, God reveals one of His names to us, Jehovah Rapha – The Lord Who Heals You.  This is the only time this name is used in scripture.  Go back and read the events leading to this revealing in Exodus 15: 22-27.  Keep in mind the Israelites had just witnessed an enormous miracle from God in the parting of the Red Sea, and now they arrive at Marah suddenly bitter.

Are you ever bitter?  Bitter in Exodus 15:3 is angry, discontented, or heavy.  The Israelites were thirsty.  They wanted water, but God reveals Himself as healer.  Why?  From the beginning of the journey, God wants His people to know they need Him first and foremost.  He will provide for their every need if they will only rely on Him completely.

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;  my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1

Does your soul thirst for God?  Do you earnestly seek Him?
