Read Exodus 15:26.
Israel crossed the Red Sea, and the people of God are elated, and I suspect a little shocked. It had to be a traumatic moment for them. Rather than this moment creating confidence they were experiencing fear. Within three days they are complaining about not having water to drink. They are full of fear and insecurity in spite of all the miracles they saw. Questions like, what will we eat, what will we drink, how will we survive, and will the plagues that came on Egypt come on us. Moses calms them by saying they need to listen to the commandments of God, obey them and none of the diseases or judgments will fall on them because “I the Lord, am your healer” (Jehovah Rapha). I will take care of you. Sometimes like the Hebrews, we doubt, grumble and experience fear when things are not going well. We need to remember we serve Jehovah Rapha, and put our trust in God. God can heal our bodies, our relationships, our emotions and fears. Let us trust God for every area of our lives.
Jehovah Rapha, thank you for watching over me and my family. We trust you for our physical, mental, and spiritual health. Cover me and my family with your grace and healing power. Amen.
