¿Are we losing our Hope in the disease?
Luke 13:10-13
"Jesus was teaching in one of the Jewish places of worship on the Day of Rest. A woman was there who had suffered for eighteen years because of a demon. She was not able to stand up straight. Jesus saw her and said, “Woman, you are now free from your trouble!” Then He put His hand on her. At once she stood up straight and gave thanks to God."
Most of the time when we get sick we go to the doctor who diagnose us, the doctor prescribe us medicines that are aimed at fighting what is doing us harm and after a few weeks of taking them we return to our activities as if nothing had happened. But ¿What when we take the medicines and the disease persists? But ¿What happens when the doctors say, "Sir, we are doing everything possible to know what is happening to you."?... Our hopes are fading and our minds begin to conceive thoughts of uncertainty and despair. ¿Why do we get sick? ¿Why does God allow us to get sick?
No doubt the questions that could have been asked by the following characters would also be:
1. Character: Woman with blood flow. Time: 12 years ... "A woman had been sick for twelve years with a flow of blood. (*She had spent all the money she had on doctors.) But she could not be healed by anyone." (Luke 8:43).
2. Character: Woman with a spirit of illness and walked hunched. Time: 18 years ... "A woman was there who had suffered for eighteen years because of a demon. She was not able to stand up straight." (Luke 13:11)
3. Character: Paralytic of Bethesda. Time: 38 years ... "A man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. Jesus saw him lying there and knew the man had been sick a long time. Jesus said to him, “Would you like to be healed?” The sick man said, “Sir, I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is moving. While I am coming, another one gets in first.”" (John 5:5-7)
The woman with blood flowing "She came behind Jesus and touched the bottom of His coat. At once the flow of blood stopped." (Luke 8:44), the bent woman" When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, "Jesus saw her and said, “Woman, you are now free from your trouble!” Then He put His hand on her. At once she stood up straight and gave thanks to God." (Luke 13:12-13) and the paralytic man "Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your bed and walk.” At once the man was healed and picked up his bed and walked. This happened on the Day of Rest." (John 5:8-9).
So those who are sick, who have been given the most deplorable diagnosis, the Bible reminds us that we can confidently approach the mantle of the Lord, that today the Lord is here and reminds us that by His wound we are healthy (Isaiah 53:5) and that it does not matter that someone hurries to go into the pool before us, for their only requirement is that "... Did I not say that if you would believe, you would see the shining-greatness of God?”" (John 11:40)
Days, months, 12 years, 18 years, 38 years ... ¿Will there be something impossible for the Lord?
Over circumstances, people or doctors that say something is going bad, we must remember that "God lifted Jesus high above everything else" (Philippians 2:9), "So My Word which goes from My mouth will not return to Me empty. It will do what I want it to do, and will carry out My plan well." (Isaiah 55:11).
If He has declared healing over us ... so shall it be!!
God bless you and have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
