Jeremiah 8:21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. 22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Even though we may have gotten accustomed to the systems, facilities, and norms of health care in this country, we must be aware that great changes are on the way, and the remnant people of God are not to place implicit trust in manmade ways and means, for there are times when you will be disappointed. The Bible teaches us that “the just shall live by faith” and another passage says “In all our ways we are to acknowledge Him”.
This means that even if we use the facilities and conventional ways and means that are at our disposal, we should always leave some wiggle room for God, just in case the proverbial rug may be pulled out from under our feet. Sudden and drastic changes are on the way almost daily, and the Christian in our day will have to learn to adjust to the changing circumstances as they will unfold. The solutions to your health care problems are not to be found solely in man, in every situation without exception.
There are times, and there will be times when after the arm of flesh has failed, the promises of God and the instructions He has revealed to us will need to be given a second look, especially as many millions of people are beholding the fragmentation of their safety nets. The Christian in our day might just have to choose between standing on the promises, or looking to a mortal man for help, of which the latter can prove to be seriously flawed at times.
2nd Chronicles 32:8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
