Psalms 103: 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. 3 Who forgives all thine iniquities; who heals all thy diseases.
For instance, if the Christian in our day is facing the looming possibility of furloughs or lay-offs, and if he is facing the prospect of losing healthcare coverage because of the potential astronomical increases in premiums, he need not worry himself or herself out of The Lord’s hands, because with God nothing shall be impossible. Even though we have become accustomed to many luxuries and privileges, because of the advances in science and medicine, we must always bear in mind that there was a time when these facilities were not widely available.
And the believers back then used to live by faith in God alone. And what was the result?…. Psalms 105: 37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. When Jesus healed on many occasions, He spoke the healing into reality, without any medicines and pharmaceuticals, the very same way He spoke the heavens and earth into existence, because of that fundamental fact that He does not necessarily need any preexisting raw materials to get His will done.
We cannot emphasize it enough, because there’s no need for the believer to go into panic mode because of tariffs, government shut downs, or unaffordable healthcare premiums. Even though we appreciate and use these facilities while they are available, the Bible teaches us that there is another way of doing things, and that man must live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
Psalms 103: 4 Who redeems thy life from destruction; who crowns thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfies thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
