First mentions of healing
I found
was that of Moses was praying for his sister Miriam to be healed
of
what appeared to be leprosy. No help there for today .
God said for her
to leave the camp for seven days and then come back.
I did not find any more
later information on her.
Rest of numbers tells the story with Moses
and Aaron.
Then, in Psalms Chapter 6, we hear David calling out to God"
Have
mercy on me, O Lord , for I am weak,
O Lord , heal me
for my bones are vexed".
Many of us senior citizen can
understand David
because we too have days when our bones are vexed.
Later David acknowledges Gods holy name. Psalms 103
"Bless the Lord,
O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
Bless the Lord, O
my soul and forget not all His benefits.
Who forgives all
thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases."
That’s
encouraging , even today.
Who of us doesn’t need forgiveness and healing.
One of my favorite saying when I am feeling under the weather
comes from
Isaiah Chapter 53 Verse 3
. Although is before Christ's time on earth
it has always seem to be
talking of Jesus of Nazareth.
Like some one was looking a head to the future
and
describing He who was to come.
"He is despised and rejected of men, a man
of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief
and we hid as it were our faces
from him,
He was despised and we esteemed him not.
Surely He hath
borne our grief's , and carried our sorrows;
yet we did not esteem him,
stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement of our
peace was upon him,
and with his stripes we are healed."
That same words "By whose stripes we were healed
"is mention again
in the new testament under ,1 Peter Chapter 2
verse 25.
