Healing: By Waiting for the LORD

How Can We Find Healing? Psalm 130

This brief Psalm offers truth and wisdom for us as we seek to find healing.

The key is waiting for the LORD.

Waiting for the LORD: CRYING

Psalm 130:1-2 says:

Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD!

O Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

Out of the depths, I cry to you, O LORD!

Waiting for the LORD: CONFESSING

Psalm 130:3-4 tells us:

If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

But with you there is forgiveness,

that you may be feared.

If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O LORD, who could stand?

Waiting for the LORD: WAITING

Psalm 130:5-6 says:

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,

and in His word I hope;

my soul waits for the LORD

more than watchmen for the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits...

Waiting for the LORD: WITNESSING

Psalm 130:7-8 tells us:

O Israel, hope in the LORD!

For with the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with him is plentiful redemption.

And he will redeem Israel

from all his iniquities.

O Israel, hope in the LORD!

Jesus came to heal us.

MARK 2:17

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
