Not a Feeble One

“He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭105:37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        Over a million people left Egypt after Peking put to hard, cruel labor for years and yet the psalmist says that there was not a feeble person among them.  We know that Moses, Aaron and their sister Miriam were in their eighties as were others and not one had to be carried out. When did this mass healing occur? In Exodus 12 we have the accounting of the institution of the Passover when Israel entered into the covenant with God at a deeper level.  We know that the Passover was a picture of the sacrifice of Jesus.  We also know that, Matthew 8::17, "He himself bore our illnesses and carried our diseases."

        If the shadow, the Passover brought healing to all of Israel so that over a million people were walking in divine health as they walked out of Egypt how much more should we not walk in divine health because of the sacrifice of Jesus.  When we celebrate the Lord's Supper this is one of the things that we celebrate, that Jesus took all of our sicknesses and bore our diseases to a distant place from us.  Divine health is a blessing that the Lord has for all of His people.  We walk in divine health when we look to the cross of Jesus for our healing and radically embrace what He has done for us.  I Peter 2:24".... By His stripe we were healed."
