change of address: BUTTERFLY COVE

What exciting news to hear from Adam that they got to visit with Charli in her new room yesterday! And now she is over the needed weight and can wear clothes!

So yesterday Charli got to have her mom & dad change her diaper and dress her for the very first time! What a GIFT FROM GOD!

I have been thinking about God's name "Jehovah Rapha" as I thank Him for teaching us more about His character and the mysteries of who He is as we watch Charli's life.

I read this today:
Jehovah Rapha, the Great Physician heals physical, spiritual & emotional ills. Although physical healing is important, man's greater need is for healing of relationships & our spiritual disease called sin. All around us we see the ravages of sin & the need for healing. The need today is not much different from Isaiah's time as described in (Is 1:5, 6-note) where Isaiah describes Israel as a physical body sick from head to heart to toe. How wonderful in that same chapter (Isa 1:16, 17, 18, 19, 20-note)

Isaiah gives preview of a clear prophecy that by Messiah's "scourging we are healed" (Isa 53:5)

Peter reaffirms this great truth in (1Pe 2:24-note) - "He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed." It follows then that...

Jehovah
Rapha
is our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
