Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

Psalm 103:1-22 KJV
1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Great is our God that heals all our diseases. One of our biggest disease is our sin. God can heal us from sin if we ask and allow him too. One the hardest things is life is to accept what God going to do for us. Failing to receive from God is because we refuse to deal with his answer. I often call my doctors office, when I need medicine for my husband, especially when I trying hard to get a solution to my problem more then once. I often sorry for them for having to put up with me, but then realize it probably that error of persistence that is my downfall. Then I realize are we as persistent with Dr. Jesus. Are we as persistent as we must be in the business world with others as we are with Jesus. You know if you want a sale you must be persistent and no when to hush up. It takes practice and years of good training to be a go seller of any thing that makes good money. I watch several families on youtube and other social media that enjoy sharing their life that way. Some do it for profit and others do it because they love sharing. Some use social media for business adventure. What I learn from watching others is either they enjoy it or your advertising a business adventure through demostrating how to use a product. What I also learned you can not be camera shy in those situations. Yet most are persistent in telling their story as it is or their view of their side. What if we were as persistent with our own relationship and speaking to God, where would we be today. Think about Job and his persistence of defense of God as well as desiring counsel meeting with God about his situation. Now if you are on the other side of the spectrum receiving, or dealing with the answer given as Job or me at the doctors office, or viewers who watch social media and so forth, you have to ask is the doctors office merciful? Is the answer Job receive from God merciful? Then when God's word declares he heals all our diseases and we still sick are we satisfied with God response to our asking. Are we persistent?

Ask a diabetic not healed yet, ask an person injured if they sought the Lord? If the answer is yes, and they were prayed for by other people of faith, what was God answer, not yet, but a day of healing will come. We have to wonder were we persistent enough or did the final judgment answer come. Great is God's faithfulness to the believer and non believer(form of mercy and judgment). How come we do not always get the right out come as believers? The outcome meaning our way of thinking. I tell you this. I rather God tell me no, knowing that he knows the situations that may or could arise and knowing I just not ready to deal with it then to walk around stumbling because I am convinced God in my better judgment this is what I needed. Example Israel decided that a king was best for them. God's mercy is clear, he allowed it, but with their judgment they were warned of the consequences and outcome of their desire. It did not stop them from being God's kids.

God wants to heal our diseases and main one being from sin, but He also knows we in this life often have to deal with the continual change of life that opens us to be acceptable to other illness and things. Yet the keyword in verse 3 is all our diseases. We know we will be healed not on this side of glory but otherside of glory. We know that our sins are healed on this side of glory in the ability to receive forgiveness of sin. God's mercy and grace comes that after we are healed we still get tarnished at times when we fail to obey him. Yet his mercy great when we repent and seek him to fullfill our desires and needs in our life. God sees what we truly need and provides it. Man is still under the consequences of original sin until either Christ returns or until we reach glory. Meaning we healed from sin against God. The sin that causes our separation from God called unbelief, but we still wrestle against flesh and blood, and powers of the enemy, not without the ability to overcome, to achieve or each goals that God has ordained for us.

See healing of sin, is the first act of God in our spiritual life, healing of disease maybe a second work of God's grace now, it is a work of grace in our future, or both here and now. Blind man waited fifty years. His purpose is not always our purpose of wanting or desiring something, but if we wait on God, his purpose and reason will be revealed. Why could Israel not wait to have king, Why did man have to continue to struggle with the sin of the world, perhaps because God wants us to know that difference of following him. Peace and contentment of knowing him, and his mercy and his judgment that is inflicted on the unbeliever and the believer.

Great is God's faithfulness to heal our diseases, comes not always in our timing but our ability to wait on him. God's faithfulness to deliver us from sin is immediately, but how fast can we turn from sin. That is where is mercy is applied in our life. When God's not quick in a response maybe that because of our own weakness. God though is faithful to keep his covenant of healing not only sins when we ask, but our diseases. We have to be persistent and willing it to be God's will in our life.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for honor your covenants with us by bring first a king name Jesus, who would take away our sins, and yet also promise of healing now and in the furture of all our diseases but not necessarily in our time frame of thinking. Help us to receive that truth, that doctors and nurses are still needed and still need our nation's prayers. If we need doctors and nurse to be angels mercy Lord, remind us that we also need to wear our mask to aid in others protection from cov-19 and other viruses, In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: James 5:10-20 KJV
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
