But without faith it is impossible
to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that
He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6
I am sure I
am not alone as I have often wondered why some people receive healing
and yet others seem to either live their lives with their afflictions or
lose them to it. There are many who will point a finger at those who are
afflicted to find an answer, believing that there is something amiss in
their lives or their relationship with God that is preventing them from
being healed. Our answers are found in trusting in God's infinite
wisdom. If we truly believe that He is God and all powerful, all wise,
and all loving then there is no choice but to trust. He is true to His
word. It is difficult when we get ideas in our minds about how things
should work out in our lives or when we witness a miracle in another's
life and don't seem to receive it ourselves. It certainly does not mean
that miracles don't happen or that God does not care. Doctors are a
blessing and we have need of them but they are limited in their
knowledge and capabilities. God has no such limitations. It comes down
to a matter of trust, trusting Him when we don't see, or understand.
Believing that our miracle is around the corner and that God is in
control of the circumstances we face; continuing to hope and to trust
when the evidence is not quite so evident. Trusting God no matter the
outcome is the ultimate profession of our faith.
Prayer
I believe
that You are God and that You are all wise, all powerful, and all
loving. There is nothing good that You will withhold from me. I trust
You when I don't see a way, or understand why. I depend upon Your
strength and Your wisdom. Each day You fill my life with Your goodness.
You have given me hope. Strengthen my faith according to your word and
help me to trust. Amen.
