When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [3] 11/24/2025 (Evening thought)

Exodus 15:26 If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that heals thee.

If you are on a fixed income and if you do have preexisting conditions you can be faced with hard and difficult options. The haunting question would always be, what am I going to do in case of an unexpected emergency? Or what would happen to me if I developed a situation that required major surgery, with an extended stay in the hospital? Will persons then have to sell their souls in order to access the health care system, or is there another option on the table?

Again, if you want to get a pulse of the realities on the ground, all you have to do is speak to one, Miss Montgomery, who, at 63 years of age is now facing a relentless battle with lung cancer, and whose costs per month could go from $541.00 to $1758.00 per month. Listen carefully to her cry, in her own words, as she mulls the possibility of what that could mean for her in her situation:

“I have to face the reality that I am probably going to become a late-stage cancer patient who’s uninsured,” Montgomery said. “I have fought this so hard. I want to live.” Now, while we are not here to take sides with this or that position we cannot help crunching the numbers and reasoning things to their logical end. If, like Miss Montgomery, you simply don’t have the resources to pay your premiums, and you have an unfortunate health crisis on your hands, what will your options be?

2nd Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [2] 11/23/2025 (Morning thought)

Psalms 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Many persons are hoping and praying that the clock will not run out on their health insurance. And we are not to say whether this would indeed be the case, all we are saying is that in some, or many instances, persons may be literally priced out of the system, and if this is the case, many will be looking for something to fall back on. That’s just the fact in the matter, and thus, the grim prospect is before us where we may have to choose between insurance and the blessed assurance.

That this a very real possibility for millions of people can be seen by the astronomical increase in premiums, across the health care spectrum. Not because some may have great health insurance does not mean that we can’t identify with the pain, frustration and foreboding that many are now facing and some who are now insulated from the pain may soon have pause for concern. If you are a family on a fixed income, there is only so much you can do with your disposable income.

And if the premiums are out of reach, you would have to seek out alternatives. It is one of satan’s devices to put two bad choices on the table, so that any which way you turn, you may be hedged in with difficulty. Take for instance a person who now lives in Texas who was told by her insurer that her premiums will be going from $862.00 to $1,380.00 per month as of January next year.

Psalms 67:1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us. 2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
