There are promises of healing throughout the Bible. There are also practical steps to obtain our healing. Three of these practical steps are found in the following scripture.
Prov 3:7-8 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. (KJV)
(1) Be not wise in your own eyes. (2) Fear the Lord. (3) Depart from evil. These three things produce 'health to thy navel and marrow to thy bones.'
These three things shall be health for us throughout our being. To our navel and to the marrow of our bones signifies a complete, thorough health.
These three things must go together. Do not eliminate any one of them and depend on just the other two. Do not remove two of them and depend on just one of them. Obey these words to the fullest. Utilize all three steps. Then it shall be health to thy navel and marrow to thy bones.
Then in the verse below, we find some encouraging words concerning our healing as it relates to our station in life.
Jer 30:17 17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. (KJV)
Jeremiah 30:17 is one of the most faith-building Scripture in the entire Bible. It speaks of something that keeps professional counselors in business; it speaks of total rejection. It describes a people rejected to the point of being called Outcast. It speaks of the rejection of a people, so thorough and final, that no one ever sought after them to find out what went so very wrong for them.
In other words, God says to us that even if we are called Outcast by those around us, He will still heal us. Even if we dwell on the wrong side of the tracks, He will still heal us. He says to us here that no matter who we are, He will still heal us.
He says to that no matter where we are from, He will still heal us. He says that no matter where we live, He will still heal us. We may be in such a state that 'no man will ever seek after us.' No matter! He will still heal us.
God says that He will restore our health to us. He also says that he will heal us of our wounds. Thanks be unto God! He gave us a healing Jesus.
