"Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her? . . . Is there no balm in Gilead, is there no physician there?"
These four questions (above) are all parallel, and the answer to all of them is, "Yes!" None of the problems of the world, nor of our own hearts and souls are without ready remedy. The answer stares us all in the face. The problem is always to be found in our *willingness* to avail ourselves (by faith) of the only One (Jesus) who can help us.
God is in His church. He reigns there, (and from there, over all the world). He is the Great Physician. There is nothing that He cannot fix, and heal. Therefore, let all enlightened churchmen run to Christ, by faith--and find abundant rest and health in Him.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Sometimes persons live in ways of sin and are not sensible of it because they are blinded by common custom and the examples of others." --Jonathan Edwards, in his sermon, "The Necessity of Self-Examination"]
