THE LORD IS THE INFALLIBLE PHYSICIAN: He heals both body and soul. The patient is a believer. The cause of all disease and suffering is sin. The seat of the malady is in the heart. The nature of it is most loathsome and afflictive. It affects the memory, the affections, the conscience, the will, yea the whole man. We are all the subjects of this disease. We all suffer from it. No one can heal us but the Lord Jesus. He is the Great Physician; to Him we may repair and be restored to health. To encourage you to do so, look at His qualifications. He is infinitely wise, tender, and skilful. His experience is without parallel; and so is His success. The remedies He employs are His precious blood, His holy word, and His blessed Spirit. The mode of application is by afflictions, bereavements, convictions, and spiritual energy. He never failed in any case of effecting a cure. David's was a bad case, but he could say, "He healeth all my diseases." This testimony is personal, credible, undoubted. Sinner, thou art sick, mortally sick: go to Jesus! Backslider, thou art sick, go to Jesus! Believer, art thou not desiring perfect health? Then go to Jesus this night with this prayer unto the Lord:
For Meditation:
Forgive, and make my nature whole,
My hateful maladies remove;
To perfect health restore my soul;
To beauteous holiness and love.
