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!

When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [1] 11/23/2025 (Evening thought)

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!
