Illness

Many Christians ponder the puzzle of sickness in this world.  It is a huge subject and by no means do I have the answer.  However, I do have a scripture that can make it better for you and me...Romans 8:28 "All things work together for good...".  We also have the hope of being healed.  Jesus still heals today, whether it be an instant touch of His hand or through medicine. 

We hardly ever consider the next verse Romans 8:29.  The two go together and is quite interesting..."For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren".  He knew us before we were formed in our mother's wombs!  He has orchestrated every moment of our lives so that we might be like Jesus.  What a wonderful thought!  This life is temporary and I want to be like Jesus.  No matter what, there is no evil in God!

"Dear Lord Jesus...Help us to think on these things day and night.  We are traveling through this world into the next, let us do it with the likeness of Jesus.  In His name we do pray and consent".  Amen
