Day 7 – Jehovah Rapha

“So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them, and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:25-26

The solution to the problem of bitter water did not come from the mind of Moses. It was from God. Jehovah Rapha translates as the Lord who heals. He who makes bitter things sweet. When thinking of the many bitter experiences in your life, what made the difference? God changes the bitter problems of life to a sweetness pleasing to Him. Jehovah Rapha speaks to us and our needs for His healing in our lives. Whether it is relational, illness, disease, or any situation causing bitterness.

We live in a constantly stressful world and society. Every new break of dawn confronts us with a load of “seemingly” unsolvable problems. God heals the sick. And God also heals the sick world and every infected situation or circumstance if we call upon Him.

Prayer: Father, You are Jehovah Rapha in my life! Thank you for not just healing my physical body, but for healing me spiritually & emotionally. For healing the situations which I did not know how to handle and for healing the circumstances to which I had no solution. Thank You for being the sweetness in my life Father, and I pray that Your sweetness will remove all the bitterness in my heart. Amen.

PS… In what areas do you feel you still need healing? Do you carry bitterness in your heart? Do situations get you under? Are you physically ill? Note them down and pray that God will change these bitter things into sweetness.
