Bible Verse of the Day Tuesday November 6th, 2018

Jeremiah 10:23 “LORD, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps”.

There are people in our lives that have some form of cancer, prayers go up. we trust God and He heals the person here on this earth and they are free from any sign of cancer. Then there are others that the same thing happens to and they are not healed here on this earth and God calls them home to be with him. Human nature is to question why God heals some here in this life and some He does not.

People wonder if God only heals those who have a strong faith, or maybe He only heals those He loves greater than others. The 11th chapter of the Book of Hebrews referred to as the faith chapter, clears any doubt in anyone’s mind about those questions with a clear response that it is not that way. We see many of God’s people who had great faith who were tortured, some were marvelously freed from their captors while others were imprisoned, beaten and even killed. They all had one thing in common and that is they all acknowledged the same faith in God.

The truth of God’s Word was the same then as it remains today and will always be. The Word of God clearly declares there is no question concerning God’s love, He loves us all the same. It is not about who has a stronger faith, it is clearly about God’s sovereignty and His great wisdom that is far beyond anything our minds will let us comprehend.

There are those of us that are up in years and live every day with pain in our bodies, but we all have faith in God that everything in our lives will be used for good through God (Romans 8:28). We look forward to the day that we will receive our resurrected celestial bodies and there will be no pain or suffering and we will be with our Lord and Savior for eternity.

God’s way is not Humanity’s ways and our acceptance of this is the first step in a stronger faith and a closer and sweeter walk with our Savior here in this life, and in the life to come. There will be times that God will try our faith so that we will be able to experience His faithfulness, as did the people of God from the past as recorded in the faith chapter of Hebrews.
