Thou Anointest My Head With Oil

Summary: A closer look at Psalm 23 verse 5 Thou anointest my head with oil
Isn’t it wonderful that God has called each one of us to be sons and daughters of God. We have been set aside in Christ
What a wonderful standing we have
God is our Father
Access to God is no longer through a few chosen priests – it is open to everyone – what we call the Priesthood of all believers
He gives us more than we can dream of
2. When we are ill, we can come to God for healing
Who else has such a right. The Scripture tells us to pray for one another
And it also recommends that we continue to use the oil of anointing for healing.
This does not mean we should not go to the doctors – of course we should
I believe that the creative healing powers that doctors have developed are a refection of man being made in the image of God
We have a lot going for us – let’s be careful not to overlook it
“You anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over”
