In a rare moment of opportunity, I happened to have the television on as I was doing some paperwork today as “Breaking News” came on about the patients with the Ebola virus who were brought back to the United States for treatment. It is great news that they have been released from the hospital, freed from isolation and disease, declared healthy again, and are able to return to their lives.
As I stopped to listen to the statement made by one of them, I was moved by his giving the glory to God for healing, and his thanksgiving for the staff, doctors, and hospital. It was obvious he was anxious to have some time with his family after having this ordeal, but wanted to express his thanks and share his faith.
Yes, God is the great physician. While we are blessed to have medical care available beyond compare, God instills something no amount of medicine can - faith. In Something more, in Something better.
Thanks be to God for these people’s healing. Thanks be to God for faith when healing, as we anticipate, doesn’t happen.
Blessings.
