—Acts 5:12-16
by: Steve Osborn.
In Exodus 15:26, God calls Himself Jehovah-Rapha—the God who heals you. We find plenty of Scriptural support for that claim. We have also heard of and experienced His healing power firsthand. Sometimes I have wondered why my prayers have not resulted in dramatic healings like the ones described in this passage. What is striking to me here is that Peter did not set out to get anybody healed. He lived faithfully and allowed God to work through him. If we do the same and pay attention to what is going on around us, I imagine we will find the same to be true—recognizing that some of the most important healings are not physical.
