There is a real need for Jesus Christ in our world. This has led to a populous filled with pain. They are thirsting for the living water that flows from only one source. However, as they search for their “balm of Gilead”, they find many who ensnare them by prescribing positive mental attitude or pills – which only serve to mask their pain. But what they really need is their Savior.

From the wilderness, the Prophet Cries out: Jeremiah 8:22 (ESV) Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?

To which the well-known African American Spiritual answers: There is a balm in Gilead To make the wounded whole; There is a balm in Gilead To heal the sin-sick soul.

In Psalm 31:1-2, David gives us a personal example of how he applies God’s medicine.

In you, O Lord, do I take REFUGE; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! Incline your ear to me; RESCUE me speedily! Be a ROCK of REFUGE for me, a strong fortress to save me!
