healing graceFrom the moment God thought of us, in the point of our conception, while we were forming in our Mother’s womb; our sex, our eye color, and all other physical attributes were designed by God. We are beautifully and wonderfully made. God was in control from the beginning and He will be in control in the everlasting.

This world loves to give credit, recognition, and praise to individuals for personal, outstanding achievements. Yet, it fails to recognize the grace by which all of us breathe. We live, move and have our being in God’s grace. Daily, God renews His mercy towards us and He gives us life, strength, and the environment to live and have purpose. We are commanded to give God glory in all that we do (1 Cor 10:31). Every time we receive and accept praise without giving Him the glory, we diminish His power working in our lives.

In most cultures, Physicians are admired, honored, and respected. It is a highly-skilled profession that requires tremendous amounts of education and study. Sadly, the world will recognize the healing produced from a doctor’s gift and forget praising the Giver. In comparison, we enjoy the comforts and benefits of a clean, well-maintained hospital, which is essential to the healing process of patients, yet fail to give honor to custodians for their work. In all good and perfect things God is at work, either in the minds and hands of Doctors, our in the sterility of the operating room. Through all things God is in control. In our pain and suffering, our faith in Him will always bring healing. Either through death and the ultimate healing of taking us home to be with Him, or through temporary healing so that we may continue to give Him glory with our lives. His grace is sufficient.
