George Beverly Shea, soloist for Billy Graham crusades, would often sing the well-known spiritual, “There is a Balm in Gilead.”

Historically, there was a rare perfume from the region of Gilead that was used medicinally as a universal cure.  Figuratively, the song is referring to Jesus Who is able to heal the sin sick soul.

As Christians, we know we can come to Jesus for ANY cure we need.  He is the Balm in Gilead.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, heal me and I will be healed.  Save me and I will be saved.  You are our true cure.

DAILY READING:  Jer. 51,52
