God thinking XI - Tough Truths 6

"People today want everything and they want it now.  Healing is expected with this same urgency of the moment that seems to push us along, almost as if being too busy or always succumbing to the circumstance were a God thing.

The proof of how God works among us is not always found in the bright-eyed excitement of the new believer or those who have finally come to believe that God can heal or provide.  The God of the scriptures maintains some mystery apart from our intellectual ability to ascertain God’s every move or action or decision.

This mystery must become part of our understanding of healing, else we will either be confused and perplexed each time someone is not healed, or we will believe something that is not true.  Either way, whether you are confused or you believe a false premise, you have not trusted God unless you have trusted God.
