Hunt for Inner Healing

Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 1-3, Luke 24:1-35

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted.
Isaiah 61:1

Today's Scripture & Insight: Isaiah 61:1-3

Always a busy guy, Carson hunted, fished, rode dirt bikes, and skateboarded. He loved everything outdoors. But he was in a motorcycle accident and became paralyzed from the chest down. Soon depression sank in, and he didn't see much of a future. Then one day some of his buddies got him to go hunting again. For a time he forgot about his injury as he enjoyed the beauty around him. This experience brought him inner healing and inspired a new purpose for his lifeâ€”to provide the same experience for others like him through a nonprofit organization, Hunt 2 Heal. He says his accident was "a blessing in disguise. . . . Now I'm able to give back, which I've always wanted to do. I'm happy." He's excited about providing a place for those with severe mobility disabilities and their caregivers to find healing.

The prophet Isaiah foretold the coming of One who would bring healing for brokenness (Isaiah 61). He would "bind up the brokenhearted" and "comfort all who mourn" (vv. 1-2). After Jesus read this Scripture in His hometown synagogue, He said, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing" (Luke 4:21). Jesus came to save us and make us whole.

Are you in need of inner healing? Turn to Jesus and He'll give you "a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair" (Isaiah 61:3).

Reflect & Pray
In what ways do you need Jesus' healing? Who can you tell about Him and the salvation and wholeness He offers?

Thank You, Jesus, for the healing You've brought to me and many others. I look forward to complete healing in heaven one day.

(2 Peter 3:18)

God in His grace has centered every blessing for us in Christ. Without Christ, we have nothing, nothing but our sins; with Christ we have all things, and therefore want nothing in addition to Christ. As...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More
