Bible Note: Greetings; All Scripture has a primary interpretation and “many” have a practical application. To say that the verse you made reference to meant that your child would be Ok was a real stretch of the meaning of that verse to say the least. John 5:8-9 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. [9] And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. Your story and the outcome is very nice and it gives us all a nice warm fuzzy feeling but that Scripture doesn’t confirm your ending as consistently working out the same way for everyone all the time the way your situation did. I guess what I am trying to say is that one can’t take your application of that verse to the bank every time and get the same results. The following verses work every time and are actually commanded. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 1 Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Not everyone receives the answer they would like to hear about the health of a loved one but the Lord knew in eternity pass exactly what would happen to each and everyone of us and He made provisions for all of those that love Him. Not all things appear to be good, from our prospective, but God can make things work together for His intrinsic good. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. The word “good”, in the English of the previous verse is translated from the Koine Greek word, AGATHOS, and it means a good that has intrinsic value. Example: Pure gold has intrinsic value but can be shaped in some ugly ways and forms that don’t look too good to us on the surface; let’s say a casting of a “drowned rat”; to me that sounds pretty repulsive and it would appear to be worthless and bad but it still contains pure gold, which on today’s market is worth about 636 dollars an ounce. Sometimes I make things about as clear as mud, right? Have a nice day, CDBJ |
