God Thinking 58 - Getting Beyond Yourself 9

"Who wants to be sick?
Who has never been sick?
Does God allow sickness in His saints?

God does not bring sickness.  Sickness is from the fall, but God does allow sickness and through it, whatever it is, God is just as there and just as concerned and just as Holy and just as righteous and just as powerful and just as actively involved as when we are well.

God does allow sickness, but in that sickness God is there equipping you and strengthening you in your weakness, revealing an attribute of God, not easily recognized when all is well.

It’s time lost if you don’t see God in it.  But if you do see God in it (WOW).

You don’t choose the fire.

You don’t choose to be sick.

you don’t choose trouble - But when they come, you must see how God operates in it, so that you won’t try to go through it alone."
