Healing After the Wounds of Life
By the Pace with Grace editorial team
Key Verse · Psalm 147:3 (NIV)
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Healing is a process, not a product. It's the slow, careful work of God in our lives, binding up the wounds we've accumulated along the way.
The Psalmist writes about a God who heals the brokenhearted, who binds up their wounds. This isn't a quick fix, but a careful, intricate process.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Notice the verb 'binds'. It's a word that implies care, attention, and patience. God's healing isn't a rushed job, but a meticulous one.
What does this mean for us? It means that healing is a journey, not a destination. It means that we don't have to have it all figured out, or all put together, to be healed.
