Reading – Psalm 41

Highlight Verse:

”The Lord nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭41‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Hmm, I wonder what inspired the choice of this verse? That’s sarcasm in case you didn’t know.

It’s been a relaxing but rough week of Covid. My symptoms are almost gone but I still tested positive yesterday.

I have known people who would have told me, “If you had enough faith, you could have been healed the first day.”

To them I would say, God’s not a genie and I am certainly not the master.

I believe in healing.

If God had chosen to, he could have healed me of Covid before the first symptom began.

God knows what’s best for me and He chose not to bring immediate healing.

So, I’ll just enjoy this time of healing.

I’ve had a week of very little responsibility, even around the house, since I don’t want to get others sick by cooking.

I appreciate the help that my wife, and kids, and future son-in-law have been to me this past week. I appreciate every prayer brought to God on my behalf.

And I appreciate the peace and healing of God’s presence as I recover.

I’ll continue to pray for healing and trust God’s greater insight into what I truly need.

Oh, and I’m thankful I’m not in David’s shoes when he wrote this Psalm at a time when his enemies where wishing for his illness to be fatal!

What is your view on healing?
Does it change when you are the one in need of healing?
