Today's
scripture: Psalm 30:1-3
Those of us with chronic health issues sometimes read verses like Psalm 30:2, and wonder ...
The psalmist writes, "O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me."
Healing is what most of us want just about more than anything else. Yet, for many of us, healing hasn't happened. Then we read or hear of other's being miraculously healed, and again we wonder ...
Why them? Why not me?
I'm not certain why God chooses to heal as He does. I do believe He often miraculously heals. A tumor disappears. A damaged nerve regenerates. A grieving family hears, "Against all medical odds, your son (or daughter or mother or father) is going to be fine."
I also believe God uses gifted medical professionals to help in the healing process.
I also believe, however, that some of us—for reasons known only to our Lord—will experience healing only after this earthly life ends. Only in that new heaven and new earth will we feel healthy and whole. Indeed, we can be assured: "There shall be no more pain ..." (NKJV, Revelation 21:4).
Yes, I'd certainly like to be healed of any one of the chronic health issues with which I deal. I'd like to have just one moment with no pain. I'd like not to feel this tremendous fatigue.
So, I do ask God for healing, and if not, then I pray for comfort, peace, and strength ... Just for today.
