Isaiah
"I will heal him"
Text: Isaiah 57:19
THE PROMISE OF SPIRITUAL HEALING
The removal of God’s anger was only the first step. The LORD would do much for the repentant individual who turns to Him sincerely.
“I have seen his ways, and will heal him;
I will also lead him,
And restore comforts to him
And to his mourners.
‘I create the fruit of the lips:
Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,’
Says the LORD,
‘And I will heal him.'”
