Topic: The School of Sickness
My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26
Recommended Reading: Psalm 73:21-28
Samuel Lane Loomis, a minister of yesteryear, said wise people learn by God’s grace to consider sickness a school where one can learn great lessons; a battlefield where one can win great victories; and a garden where one may pick beautiful flowers and fruits.
Many Christians who contracted COVID look back at the experience as a time when God spoke to their hearts and deepened their lives as never before. The psalmist said, “My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever” (Psalm 73:26, NLT).
Through our sicknesses, we can trust in the promises of our Father. He will never leave or forsake us. The apostle Paul concluded: “Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day” (2 Corinthians 4:16).
Do you feel badly today? Ask God to turn sickness into His school, His battlefield of victory, His garden of peace. And may He do it!
My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain. John Henry Newman
