Human kind is tired of being sick. Hereditary diseases and unexpected maladies continue to plague the people of the world. So the fields of science and medicine have joined forces to help free us from sickness. Genetic engineering is attempting to eliminate our tendencies toward illness.
While we can be thankful for medical advances, it is helpful to recognize God purposefully did not create us to be immune from disease. We are vulnerable for a reason. Whenever a believer is miraculously healed, God’s might is revealed; and His name is glorified. Even when people are not delivered from illness in this life, their deaths and homegoing are enough to evoke praise to the Lord. They have been given new lives with zero handicaps.
Our humanity stands in stark contrast to God’s perfection. Whether through life or death, may His name be glorified through us.
Lord, I am weak and You are strong. May Your name be praised as I lean on Your greatness.
