Sickness Is Always A Difficult One To Deal With. God’s Ways Are Higher Than Our Ways (Isaiah 55:9).
When We Are Suffering With A Sickness, Disease, Or Injury, We Usually Focus On Our Own Suffering. It Is Very Difficult To Focus On What Good God Might Bring Through Suffering.
Romans 8:28 Reminds Us That God Can Bring About Good From Any Situation. During Sickness Believers Come Closer To God, They Learn How To Value Life.
Sickness Is Not Always From God. He Does Not Inflict Us With Sickness To Teach Us A Spiritual Lesson. Sickness, Disease, And Death Are Unavoidable. We Are Prone To Disease And Illness. Sickness Can Also Be The Result Of A Demonic Attack.
(Matthew 17:14-18; Luke 13:10-16). God Is Still In Control.
Sometimes God Allows Satan To Cause Physical Suffering. Even When Sickness Is Not Directly From God, He Will Still Use It To Discipline Us.
Hebrews 12:5-11 Explains How God Is Disciplining Us To Produce A Harvest Of Righteousness Through Suffering.
The Clearest Example Of This Is Found In Psalm 119. “Before I Was Afflicted, I Went Astray, But Now I Obey Your Word…It Was Good For Me To Be Afflicted So That I Might Learn Your Decrees…I Know, O Lord, That Your Laws Are Righteous, And In Faithfulness You Have Afflicted Me.”
The Author Of This Psalm Learned God’s Decrees And Obeyed His Word Through Suffering.
Even Though Sickness And Suffering Are Never Easy To Deal With We Should Not Lose Faith In God. God Is Good, Believers Who Leave This World In Sickness But In Faith And Pure Heart Will Be In Heaven And They Will Not Regret For What They Went Through In Life On Earth.
It Is Our Responsibility To Minister To The Sick, Care For Them, Pray For Them, And Comfort Them. It Is Not Appropriate To Emphasize That God Will Bring Good Out Of The Suffering. They Need Not Our Advice But Our Love And Encouragement, Testimony
My Daughter-In-Law Suffered A Lot Due To So Many Ailments In Her Body. She Is Pious And Noble. She Is A Prayer Warrior Also. But Still Now She Is Suffering Due To Inherent Disorders. But She Is Strong In Faith And My Family Members Also Learned A Lot From Her. My Son Who Was Elusive In Spiritual Life And Who Avoided Family Prayer Is Now A Transformed Person. I See A Total Reformation In My Family. We Learned A Lot From My Daughter-In-Law.
Let Us Be Ready To Accept The Plan Of God For Us. His Ways May Not Be Easy To Understand But It Is Definitely For Good.
