Today's Inspiring Thought: The Works of God
All of us, at some point, have to go through serious illness or injury. Recently I was treated for cancer, for the second time in my life. We can't understand why such things happen, but we can be sure that God does not send illness to punish us. That's what Jesus Christ tells his disciples in today's verse, when they asked whether a blind man or his parents sinned, causing the man to be born blind. When injury or illness strikes, remember these words of Jesus. The works of God apply to you, too. If he chooses not to heal your body completely, he will heal your spirit so you can live with your disability. Getting sick is part of life, but God's love and strength are how we, as believers, can overcome whatever happens to us.<Previous Day | Next Day>
