Bible Verse of The Day – 7-7-20

Exodus 15:26 (NKJV) 26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”

God had spoken this to the Israelites after He delivered them from the hand of Pharaoh, in Egypt, where they were slaves for 400 years.

If they would diligently heed the voice of the Lord their God, if they would listen and do what He commanded them to do, He would spare them from all the diseases that He had brought upon the Egyptians. Wow!

In this verse, God refers to Himself as the Lord who heals. In Hebrew it is Yahweh Ropheka. Rophe means doctor!

He will keep them from physical diseases. How does He do this? Through divine prevention and/or cure.

He speaks to them and gives them the solution to be free and clear of diseases. He says, “listen, do what is right, and keep My statutes”.

Even though God was speaking to the Israelites, these are very important things to follow, even for us today.

God cares about us on a personal level. He is a personal, one on ONE Papa. He doesn’t want us sickly.

This doesn’t mean that we are guaranteed to never get sick. It means that as we follow Him and do what He leads us to do, we will have a type of divine protection that will keep us safe from the curses brought upon the world by their wickedness.

He is the Lord who heals…Yahweh Ropheka!
