God has really been teaching me a lot here. I was thinking the other day about healing. Last year when I was going through my SOW, about 2 weeks into the school my entire body broke out into a rash and I had no idea where it came from! We prayed for it countless times and it would get better but it didnt seem to want to go away completely! I did everything I knew to do for it but it would not leave me! It was so entirely frustrating. I couldnt understand why God wouldnt heal me. But as I sit here right now there is nowhere on my body that has that rash anymore. It hit me this week. Who's to say that God didnt heal me? I was listening to a podcast from Bethel Church in Redding CA and Bill Johnson shared a testimony from a kid. He had broken a bone in his body and he told the congregation that after just 5 months (i think) his bone was completely healed!! Now how many of us would just dismiss that as, well thats how long it normally takes for a broken bone to heal and take the credit completely away from God! God is good, all the time! He WANTS to heal every sickness, disease, broken bone and rash that will ever try to plague our bodies! But He never puts a time restraint on the way He does things. So why is it that when we dont see results in OUR timing, that the credit gets taken away from Him. We have to remember that HE created our bodies and it was HIS idea for the body to heal itself. So ultimately ALL healing is His doing, whether it takes 1 second or 10 years! It's in those times when we dont see instantaneous healing that we have to remember to say "I dont understand your ways, oh but i will give you my song, i'll give you ALL of my praise". My mind has been exposed to a new reality, and it makes me love God even more than before!
Well that's all for this little tangent. Until my next revelation!! :)
