In Sickness And In Health, God Is God

Good Morning!!  I was thinking about a friend that died of cancer, just this past week. And all of the others that I know, that have it or fear that they might. One of the guys where I work was is out for testing, last year. I now know friends, family and a co-worker that survivors. I know God heals, or allows healing of cancer,...so, why not everybody? Sorry, I can't answer that one. But I do know what it means when God does grant healing. When God heals someone of that, and other dreaded diseases,...even the not so dreaded ones.  He is talking to us! He is saying, " Look! " " The real problem is not the disease,...that's only a symptom.  Your body and world today are sick, because you continually operate outside of  My Will. ".
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.—Revelation 21:4 (KJV)

In the beginning, God told Adam, " From the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die." (Genesis 2:17) The Bible goes on to say, " Through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men." (Romans 5:12) You see, death came into our world because of sin! The various forms of disease we experience are simply forerunners of death. So when God does heal someone from a particular illness, He is telling us that He is the cure for sin!...not just a cover-up. As a bonus, He's giving us a taste of heaven to come.

Those who trust in Christ for salvation from sin will one day be totally healed of every physical problem,...and that's what heaven will be like!

We spend millions on over the counter drugs, millions on doctors, and in hospitals,

....seeking a cure, but ultimately settling for just another cover-up.

"Returning good for good is human,...returning good for evil is divine."
