Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
ISAIAH 53:4–5 (NIV)

THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
All our infirmities, whatever they are, are just opportunities for God to display his gracious work in us.
- Charles Spurgeon
When we talk about healing, so often we refer to illness – cancer, diseases, brokenness of the body etc. However, we know that healing can refer to many other things such as healing of the heart and soul. Healing of brokenness. Healing from pain and trauma.
Our God is the great physician. He is the ultimate healer. One not bound by medicine or science but one who is all powerful and mighty to deliver and save. He is our Saviour. The hope of the world. In Him we find healing, peace and rest. Is it always in our timing? No. Is the healing always as we think it should be? No. Is He always working in the midst of our needs? Yes!
This week as we explore God – the great physician – we pray your eyes will be lifted upwards. You may not get all the answers but we pray you know and draw near to our Heavenly Father who is always with you in every circumstance and season.
