Discover Who He Is
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” – Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)
Have you ever thought about how big God really is? Sometimes, we put Him in a box. We know Him as our Saviour, and that’s wonderful. But God is so much more than that. He’s our healer, our provider, our way-maker, our restorer, and our vindicator. He’s whatever we need Him to be. The question is, do you know Him in all these ways?
When we come to God, the Bible says we must believe that He is. It doesn’t say what He is, just that He is. That means God becomes whatever we need Him to be in every situation. Are you weak? He is your strength. Are you sick? He is your healer. Are you facing a dead end? He is your way maker. The more we discover about who God is, the more we’ll see His power at work in our lives.
1. He Is Your Healer
“I am the Lord who heals you.” – Exodus 15:26 (NIV)
One of the most powerful ways God reveals Himself is as our healer. Maybe you’re facing a health challenge today. The medical report doesn’t look good, and the odds seem stacked against you. But I want to remind you that God is still Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals. He hasn’t lost His power.
Think about the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5. She had suffered for twelve years, spent all her money on doctors, and only grew worse. But one day, she heard about Jesus. She thought, “If only I can touch the hem of His garment, I’ll be healed.” She pushed through the crowd, touched His cloak, and instantly, she was made whole.
What’s interesting is that Jesus didn’t even know who touched Him. He felt power go out of Him and asked, “Who touched Me?” The woman came forward, trembling, and told Him her story. Jesus said, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”
Notice that it was her faith that activated God’s healing power. She believed that Jesus could heal her, and because of her faith, she received her miracle.
Maybe you’ve been praying for healing for a long time, and it hasn’t happened yet. Don’t give up. Keep believing. God is still the same healer He was in Bible times. He’s still working miracles today.
2. He Is Your Provider
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
Another way God reveals Himself is as our provider. Maybe you’re facing a financial challenge today. The bills are piling up, and you don’t see a way out. But I want to remind you that God is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. He’s not limited by your bank account or your job situation. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and He can make a way where there seems to be no way.
Think about the story of Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17. There was a severe famine in the land, and Elijah was sent to a widow who was about to prepare her last meal. She only had a handful of flour and a little oil, but Elijah told her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first, make a small loaf of bread for me.”
The widow obeyed, and miraculously, her flour and oil never ran out. She had enough to feed her family and Elijah throughout the entire famine.
What’s interesting is that God didn’t provide for the widow until she took a step of faith. She had to believe that God would provide, even when it didn’t make sense.
Maybe you’re in a situation where you don’t see how things will work out. You’ve done everything you can, but it’s not enough. That’s when you need to trust God as your provider. Take a step of faith, and watch Him open doors you never thought possible.
3. He Is Your Way Maker
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” – Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
Life is full of challenges that seem impossible. Maybe you’re facing a dead end today. You’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. That’s when you need to remember that God is your waymaker. He can make a way where there seems to be no way.
Think about the Israelites when they were trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army. It looked like there was no way out. But God parted the Red Sea, and they walked through on dry ground.
What’s interesting is that God didn’t part the Red Sea until the Israelites took a step of faith. Moses had to stretch out his hand, and the people had to start walking.
Maybe you’re facing a Red Sea moment today. You don’t see a way out, but God is saying, “Take a step of faith.” When you trust Him as your waymaker, He’ll make a way for you.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, thank You for being everything we need. You are our healer, our provider, and our way-maker. Help us to trust You in every situation, knowing that You are always working for our good. Strengthen our faith and open our eyes to see Your power at work in our lives. We believe that You are who You say You are, and we trust You to fulfil every promise in Your Word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
