Notice what we just read; first it says
"attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart..." How can you attend to God's words if you don't know them? That's why it's important to study, meditate, and act on the Word continually by the Spirit.

Secondly, it says, "For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." God's Word has the power to heal and deliver. His words are life and health to all your flesh. The Hebrew word for health here is "marpe," and it means cure or medicine; the Word has curative powers. That's why the King James Version uses the word 'health'; God's Word is medicine for your body.

If you have a problem with your body, like a health condition, and you meditate on God's Word, you'll be cured. God's Word is the real medicine-the universal, infallible panace for any issue regarding your health. Through meditation, the real medicine enters your heart, your veins, your arteries, your muscles, your bones, effecting a cure, mending and perfecting all things.

This is the reason someone who's been diagnosed with cancer can get cured by meditating on the Word. The Word is a healer and a cleanser (John 15:3); it'll cleanse your blood; it'll purify and cleanse it of any kind of sickness, disease or infirmity. Psalm 107:20 says, "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

It brings to mind Job 33:19-22 where the Bible describes the sufferings of a man in pain and weakness and how his suffering became so severe; his body had deteriorated and was at the precipice of death. But verse 23 in the Amplified Classic Translation revealed his hope; it says, "[God's voice may be heard] if there is for the hearer a messenger or an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him how to be upright and in right standing with God]." God's voice-His Word-can be heard; when you hear it, it imparts faith to you; it brings you healing and makes you whole.

*||PRAYER||*
*|| Thank you Father for your Word that brings healing and deliverance. Your Word is medicine to my body; my entire being -my organs, bones, veins, arteries, blood-are inundated by the Word. I walk in divine health and victory, because your Word is my life, in Jesus' Name. Amen. ||*

*||FURTHER STUDY||*
*|| Psalms 107:20 ||* He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.

*|| Proverbs 4:20-22 ||* My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. 21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one's whole body.

*|| Matthew 8:16 ||* When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, and healed all that were sick:
