Learn to trust

 

Exodus 15:26 

26 He said, “If you will diligently obey the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight,

 and pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, then all the diseases

that I brought on the Egyptians I will not bring on you, for I, the Lord, am your healer.”

 

Sin does not produce fruits of Holiness ... sickness however does.

At least it brings us closer ... to the position of our Maker.

Even if we don’t recognize ... that sickness should be a plus

We should accept it with contentment for the reasons that He gave

 

When sick first deal with the Lord and then when sickness prevails

Search for the reason ... and what God tries to accomplish.

There is always a good reason maybe even for your surrounding

to confirm in you how you trust and how much you are blessed.

 

2 Corinthians 12:6-7 

6 For even if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I would be telling the truth, but I refrain from this so that no one may regard me beyond what he sees in me or what he hears from me, 7 even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not become arrogant,  a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble me—so that I would not become arrogant.

 

It is sometimes to slow us down ... or keep pride from forming.

It seems that we get carried away ... by our own importance.

Self in our old nature ... we love the recognition,

as even in our dreams ... we ourselves transform it.

 

In a multitude of thoughts ... self will cry, “Vision!”

In confusion of recognition self will proclaim importance.

Maybe many are sick ... because of self-love’s insistence

and maybe some are ill because they hunger for that instance.

 

Self-centeredness is the culprit ... all things turn around self.

In some cases, however ... it maybe profitable for your work

To learn to take care of self ... for the Glory of the Almighty

Even so the body maybe frail ... God gives life and strength in turn.
