You Healed Me
(Psalm 30:1-3)
The key to living as a person of true happiness lies in gratitude. Gratitude is the very core of our faith. Even in the midst of our busy daily lives and difficult realities, we must remember the grace of God and give thanks. David exemplifies that giving thanks in all circumstances is the true path to glorifying God.
1. God, who hears our prayers
Prayer is spiritual communication with God and the breath of the spirit. The life of Jesus was a life of continual prayer, and the history of Christianity is likewise a history of prayer. Though today’s fast-paced world has made prayer a formal ritual and has weakened faith, the true power of the Christian life flows from fervent prayer. As the Lord declares, “Call to Me,” it is in prayer that suffering is transformed, and miracles occur (Jeremiah 33:3). Indeed, prayer is the channel of great blessing. Even in the midst of suffering, when we cry out to God with all our heart, He hears and answers our prayers (Psalm 118:5).
2. God, who heals our diseases
God is our Healer (Psalm 30:2). When the Israelites, after their exodus from Egypt, encountered the bitter waters of Marah, God turned the water sweet and revealed Himself as the Healer who cares for both the bodies and souls of His people (Exodus 15:26). In the same manner, Jesus healed the physical and spiritual diseases of countless individuals. He did not turn away from those who were in pain, but reached out His hand and granted them the grace of restoration (Matthew 9:35). Even now, Jesus remains the unchanging, living Lord who heals. When we pray in faith and come before Him with thanksgiving, the grace of healing continues to work in our lives.
3. God, who delivers us from the power of death.
The greatest miracle one can encounter in this life is to believe in Jesus and receive salvation. Though we were destined for death through sin, God granted us eternal life (Psalm 30:3) and delivered us from every hopeless situation. Therefore, the proper attitude for every believer is to live each day with gratitude for the grace of salvation. Complaining and grumbling are the roots of sin and stand in direct opposition to the grace God has shown us. We must remain spiritually vigilant, keeping ourselves far from complaint and resentment, and engrave upon our hearts God’s command to give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18). May we bring glory to God through our thanksgiving and be filled with the abundance of His grace.
