Once, when I was doubting God about a serious life
threatening physical need, the Holy Spirit spoke this question very clearly to
my heart: "How can you love someone you don't trust" After some deep
soul searching I decided to let my love for God be demonstrated in trust...
"Though He slay me trust"! From that moment forward I stopped all
medical intervention and simply trusted God as a demonstration of my love. It
did not matter whether God healed me, kept me alive by divine intervention, or
took me home to be with Him, although in all honesty I had my preferences. I
simply realized that I am God’s possession, one of His jewels, bought with more
than a King’s ransom… the precious blood of Jesus. He knows what is best for me
and the plans He has for me, far better then I. After a few months all symptoms
disappeared. Healed 18 years and counting...
Endnote: There is no surefire single recipe to access
divine healing. God sort of does what He wants, within the confines of bringing
His eternal good out of the circumstances of our life, for “we know that all
things work together for good to those who love God.” How God fixes my “thing”
may be quite different from how He chooses to fix your “thing.” But all our
“things” will produce God’s purposeful good for us… all, not some! He is God you know… and He has spoken! Love,
Trust, Obedience, Dependence… These things are all important, but healings will
always be a unique supernatural exchange between God and an individual.
Pondering “Why” is a dead-end that wastes time and dilutes our faith for God
never answers this question. The question God is eager to answer is Who. It is
far better to recognize Who is with us in times of affliction and adversity: “Fear not, for I
AM with you.” And the undisputable fact that God will never leave us forsaken: “I will never leave you nor forsake
you.”
HOW CAN YOU LOVE SOMEONE YOU DON'T TRUST?
HOW INDEED…
(Job
13:15; Is. 41:10; Heb. 13:5; Rom. 8:28)
