"My son, attend to my words;
incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes;
keep them in the midst of thine heart.
For they are life unto those that find
them and health to all their flesh."
Proverbs 4:20-22
In Hebrew, this literally says that God's
Word is medicine to our flesh.
What if someone invented a medication
that could cure anything wrong with
the human body.
People would take that medicine diligently
to make sure that they stayed well.
If we would just believe God's promises
on healing the same way we give medicines
made by medical science, we would have
100 times the result!
This isn't against medicines.
Thank God for doctors.
They can help keep people alive until
they discover a better way.
God's words may be medicine to all
our flesh, but just like other medicine,
we have to take it.
If we just put it on the shelf and look at
it, it won't do us any good.
We take God's medicine by hearing and
hearing it over and over continually; just
like taking medicine every day the rest
of our lives.
Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith
cometh by hearing and hearing by the
word of God."
When we take the time to continually
hear God's Word, our faith hooks up
and releases God's power and we rise
up healed!
