Bible Note: Hi Brad, I attend a very large church in Ohio and there a literally hundreds of believers in our congregation that have incurable problems, quadriplegics, deafness, etc. My wife heads up one of the support groups and her heart truly goes out to these unfortunate loved ones of the Lord. When I see a post like the one that I responded to it breaks my heart that some folks, being so fortunate that the Lord has blessed them, could be so cruel to think they have a special angle on God’s grace; If a dear saint has a health problem the treat it like it’s the persons entire fault for having lack of faith. 1 Cor. 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Not everything that happens to us in this life is good but God can use these things for His glory and His good. Romans 8:27-28 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. When I think of a particular person in this kind of a situation I think of a dear brother in the Lord, who passed away not that long ago, that most all know, Bill Bright. Bill praised the Lord right up to the end. 1 Thes. 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Paul suffered through life with his thorn in the flesh and wasn’t healed but he found that God’s grace was sufficient for his problem. Philip. 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. There are countless believers in the body that have agonized before the Lord for hours that haven’t been delivered from their affliction yet they have been used mightily of the Lord along with their problem. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 2 Cor. 1:3-4 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. Have a great day in the Lord, CDBJ |
