WHEN GOD DOESN'T HEAL

Sunday, September 24, 2006

When God doesn’t heal, consider:

First, he does not always respond to our desires, and he frequently allows circumstances we wish he wouldn’t. We call this sovereignty. The scriptural truth is that God is in control.

Second, our tendency is to doubt God’s sovereignty in the midst of tumultuous times. Unfortunately, when we doubt we presume to comprehend more than he does.

Third, we must embrace the sufficiency of God’s grace in all circumstances. In other words, it is imperative that the God of the mountains also be the God of the valleys.

As with the Cross, our darkest hour may be God’s finest moment.
