Healing And Deliverance

"He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."  Psalm 107:20.  God's concern over man's self destruction has been present since the dawn of time.  Were it but for the grace of God, man would write his own failure in history.  Man's sickness comes of his own will.  His own arrogance brings about all of the ills that afflict him.  The fate of all self will is destruction.  But, God has sent His word.  Will we hear?  Will we heed?  God's word has the power to heal our afflictions and deliver us from destruction.  Why does God express such loving concern to a world that seeks its own destruction?  The answer is that He loves.  We should cry unto Him for daily help.  We should seek to praise Him for His wonderful deliverance.  Did not God save Noah from the overwhelming flood?  Did not God spare Lot from the consuming fire?  He spoke His word unto them and they acted according to His instructions.  Their lives were spared when others were destroyed.  In our time of sin and death, God's word speaks to us of salvation and victory from the enemies of destruction.  Let us hear that we might be healed and delivered.
