Sick at Heart

Psalm 41:3 — The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.


In Psalm 40:17, David says, “I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me.” One of the meanings of the word “poor” is “sick,” and the sickness can be physical or spiritual, or both physical and spiritual. A person who is sick at heart, perhaps because of sin, could also become physically ill.


David begins Psalm 41 by saying, “Blessed is the one who cares for the poor.” God blesses those who care for those who are physically and spiritually ill. In verse 3, David says that the blessing is that the Lord will sustain those who care for others with His own divine care for them. God cares for those who care for others.


In Psalm 41:4, David says, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.” Apparently, David is sick at heart because of some sin in his life, and that heartsickness has made him physically ill. David is calling on God to restore him and sustain him; David is repenting of his sin.


Not all sickness is the result of sin in our lives. If I catch a cold, it is probably unlikely that I am sneezing and coughing because I told a lie this morning or had an evil thought.  But living in sin and never confessing it to God in repentance can make the heart sick and cause physical problems.


The good news is that God will sustain and restore us, be gracious to us and heal us if we confess our sin and return to living in obedience to Him and His Word. And we will be blessed when we help those who are poor and needy in either the physical or spiritual sense. We can help restore people to right relationship with God.

When I am sick physically or mentally, I can go to the Father who is almighty.

He is a perfect doctor, a magnificent healer.

I have great hope that he will make it completely healed.
