“Lord, Heal My Soul”

Psalms 41: 4

"I said Lord, be merciful unto me:

heal my soul; for I have

sinned against thee."

        This psalm was probably composed, during the four years in which Absalom’s conspiracy was being hatched. Perhaps the anxiety induced some serious illness, over which David’s enemies exulted with undignified action. His sensitive nature was  greatly pained. But who does not realize the applicability of the psalm to the betrayal of our Lord? Ps. 41:9 is quoted in John 13:18, "I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me." 

        In the day of trouble, when enemies oppose, and friends prove false, God draws near. Look after God’s poor and He will care for you in the evil day. The blessings that you have endeavored to share will return to your own comfort in the hour of tribulation. God will make (or change) your bed in sickness, He will heal your soul, and will set you before His face forever, What a sweet conception of God as head nurse in the room where feet must be shod with velvet and voices speak in the gentlest tones! 

        Amen!
