Todays Turning Point with David Jeremiah When Disease Strikes Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick. John 11:3 A disease is a condition causing pain, dysfunction, distress, or death to the one afflicted. Most diseases affect the personality in some way, and they can also drain us financially. Some are exotically rare and have names like Lymphangioleiomyomatosis; others are as common as arthritis. Perhaps youre alarmed at twinges in your chest, aches in your bones, a persistent cough, or a speck of blood where it shouldnt be. Or maybe youre past those initial symptoms. Youve been diagnosed. You are battling disease right now. The Lord may or may not heal us of all our diseases on earth, but ultimate healing and eternal health is included in what Jesus did for us on the cross. He suffered excruciating pain to give us resurrection bodies free from illness, aging, or debilitating disease. Matthew 8:17 says, He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. Isaiah 53:5 says, By His stripes we are healed. Illness makes us all uncomfortable, but it can turn our thoughts to Him who loves us even when were sick. We often need physical therapy, but God is the great spiritual Therapist who can keep us strong of heart even when were weak of body. David Jeremiah
