This quotation might cause some of us to cringe.
Six years ago, it certainly would have ruffled my feathers. I was convicted that people with poorly controlled chronic illness, brought upon themselves the issues, due to non-compliance to medical treatments… prescribed by experts.
When I first read words like this, I was astonished. The writer was well-known for her wisdom in Biblical truths, and I respected her insights, but these kinds of statements seemed to discredit her sanity from a medical perspective. And yet I embarked on praying about it. The more I pleaded with God for wisdom, the more convicted I became that these words were true. “It is better to trust the Lord, than to put your trust in man. It is better to trust the Lord, than to put your trust in princes.”
Today I can testify that when my patients learn how to live in harmony with the laws of health that our Creater established at the very birth of humanity, the need for medications deminish steadily, and many of those who wholeheartedly take hold of healthful daily living, faithfully abstaining from that which is harmful, find healing in nature’s remedies that is simply impossible to attain through man-maid treatments.
It has been a blessing to witness lives transformed, and to see the handiwork of our Creator and Re-creator!
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding…”
