On entering a hospital, you quickly see it is filled with sick and injured patients in need of treatment. You will also note the patients suffer from different ailments: some have cancer, some kidney failure, others broken bones - the list goes on. Doctors and nurses use different procedures and techniques for each circumstance because there is not one treatment that cures all. The remedy for a cut finger, for example, will not be successful for those with kidney failure or pneumonia. We live in a sick and dying world where every nation or community is like a patient. However, not every nation or community suffers from the same illness. Some are afflicted with poverty, some with oppression, while others suffer from war and famine. Prosperous countries are not immune, they are chronically sick with indifference and dependencies. Our job, as followers of Christ, is to help bring these nations to good spiritual health, but how do we convince these nations to take their medicine of God’s Word? That which works for one group will not necessarily work for another. A nation suffering from war or famine will require different treatment to a nation or community suffering from apathy. We should first pray that God would be apparent in every group’s circumstances so its people will see the need to seek treatment. Then we should pray that God sends the right doctors who know those special treatments for successful administration of the cure, which is salvation. A word from the WORD: if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Worth Remembering: It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. ~Krishnamurti Sunday morning praise: Praise God for healing. youtu.be/W0nHUyxeMfI
