“Every gift God freely gives us is good and perfect, streaming down from the Father of lights, who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change.”(James 1:17 TPT)
When we are ill it can be tempting to assume God has afflicted us, however, He is the One who heals us, our enemy Satan is the afflicter of disease. Not only does Satan afflict us, he works hard to convince us we are alone and God has forsaken us. He is a liar!
Since being in Nepal I had battled stomach problems, until yesterday. My Nepali friends were constantly trying to feed me Nepali remedies, and yesterday were talking of me needing to go to the hospital. This is their mindset. I said, “No! I do not need a hospital I will tell you if I am that sick! God will heal me!” I was also determined to care for my own health. The Nepali world seems to revolve around food and the kitchen. This morning I am well.
Another thing Satan has worked to convince me of is that I am wasting my time in Nepal and that God had not sent me nor given me His tools to work with. Another lie! Great is my God’s faithfulness! He sustains me and empowers me.
Today we take delivery of a heater, praise God! It has been cold. I have also bought the girls a frypan. The pan they were using had no handle and was very old. Lord willing it will be delivered today also. Things we take for grated in the west are not so common here in Nepal. Praise God for online shopping though, COVID brought that to Nepal.
If we, though corrupt, can give good gifts, how much more our Heavenly Father gives us His best gifts from heaven. Healing and wholeness are up there in His gifts, the best being eternal salvation. Now that is the best! Amen!
