As we go through life we face difficult times and pray for change. We sometimes view life as diseased or sick. For the sake of this blog I am going to refer to these hard times as cancer for many times we have no cure for them. We are willing to try anything but many times it feels we are only prolonging the outcome as we become sicker and sicker. This cancer can come in many forms just as the real thing. It can be a minor form of skin cancer or a full blown inoperable tumor. It can be an annoying inconvenience or rob you of the joy and fullness of life.
There is hope however. We spend way to much energy trying to find the cure instead of turning to the Great Physician. I have had times (and will in the future)where this disease has crept into my life and felt overwhelmed. In the very recent past I have seen if we are patient and wise there is a cure. I have seen God cure the disease if we turn it over to him. We may have been quick to perform surgery to rid ourselves of the disease but God's plan was to take a more patient and noble approach and allow us to learn to depend on Him during our sickness. How rewarding that can be.
When our health is restored we feel the need to fall on our knees and rejoice! How great are your ways O Lord! Our patient is rewarded by removing this disease from us and restoring our health. The disease has ran its course and we are free!
