Hello Everyone,
Next we have The Kernel of Healing
Psalm 103:3b: “…who heals all your diseases…”

I do not understand why some are healed and some are not but I believe: All healing is divine healing and all recovery from sickness, injury and surgery is the result of the healing properties that God has built into our bodies. Medicine, surgery and therapy are just extensions of God’s healing ministry.
This verse doesn’t say that God heals everyone’s diseases, but that He heals all diseases. There is no disease or sickness that is beyond His healing power—not even what we call “incurable.” He is the GREAT Physician.
The main truth is that the Psalmist is speaking to his soul. “Bless the Lord, O my soul,” he said, “who heals all your diseases.”

The diseases of the soul come from the virus of sin. Jesus identified this virus and its symptoms and disorders in
Matt 15:19-20: “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man ’unclean.’”

The soul of man can be cleansed, and made whole when God the Holy Spirit is allowed to possess us completely.

Then there is The Kernel of Love and Compassion
Verse 4a: “…crowns you with love and compassion…”

An evangelist by the name of J. Wilbur Chapman had a man stand in one of his meetings, and gave this testimony: “I got off at the Pennsylvania depot one day as a tramp. For a year I begged on the streets for a living. One day I touched a man on the shoulder and said, “Mister, please give me some money so I can have something to eat.” As soon as I saw his face, I recognized him as my father. ‘Father, don’t you know me?’ I asked. Throwing his arms around me, he cried, ‘I’ve found you! I’ve found you! All I have is yours!’ Think of it! That I a tramp, stood begging my father for a few cents, when for 18 years he had been looking for me to give me all he was worth.”

Is this not like the loving kindness and tender mercies of the Lord that accompany our lives every day.

Grace is giving us what we do not deserve. Mercy is not giving us what we do deserve.

Oh How He Loves Us!
