Why
Physical Healing Is So Critical
“I
will put none of these diseases upon thee,which I have brought upon
the Egyptians;for I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Exodus 4 25-26
Physical
healing is essential to the Christian life. Yet, it at times seems
evasive. Why is it important to get physical healing? Because life
is hard enough even when you're feeling well. Let's face it: it is
difficult to live in this world. Last week I had a tooth extracted.
It took a week before I had started to feel well again. Although the
tooth was abscessed and needed to be extracted it end up costing me a
week of work. The good news is that I did get healed. The only
problem for me was that my healing did not come as fast as I would
have liked. God seems to heal us according to his own timing. Did God
cause my abscessed tooth? No, I probably did it myself by not taking
better care of my teeth. Was the week off work a total waste of time?
No, because I got a lot of work done on my novel. I was feeling too
lousy to be able to function at work, but I was still healthy enough
to do some writing. I also got a lot of Bible reading done. My Bible
reading comes in waves. Sometimes I am motivated to read scripture
and can't wait to either crack open one of my Bibles or to listen to
an audio book version of the Bible. At other times it seems that the
Bible must weigh five hundred pounds and I am unable to lift it. I
don't understand this ebb and flow but have come to accept it as a
fact in my life.
