“…I
will save thee from a far…I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee
of thy wounds, saith the Lord, (Jere 30:10 & 17)
Incurable grief’s
are owing to incurable lusts that are grievous to the soul rendering it incurable
and no medicines can heal (vs 13). Yet though one can find oneself captive, and
suffering justly, unable to plead their cause; the Lord offers hope. While one may endure an unwanted harvest from
their choices along with the Lord’s correction, the Lord will not put an end to
you nor will He ever leave thee (vs 11). But every effort to heal ourselves must be
seen as fruitless, so long as we neglect the only One who can heal our wounds. The medical language here conveys the idea
that sin is terminal. Sinful people cannot be cured by being good or being
religious. God alone can
cure the disease of sin and its captivity, but you must be willing to let him. In
doing so the Lord will bring those that devour you into captivity and give them
as a spoil and a prey (vs 16).
The Lord desires
to break the hardened heart and heal the broken one.
