For the last three weeks or so, I have been feeling sick. Finally, after my wife's insistence, I went to see the doctor. I was confident he would say: "there's nothing wrong. It's all in your head." Well, there was something wrong, and it was in my chest--Bronchitis. The doctor subscribed a prescription, and now, a few days later, I am feeling almost as good as new.
You would think that, after forty-four years of existence, I would learn to not let a sickness get so bad. I don't like seeing a doctor. But, on the other hand, I don't like feeling sick.
Spiritually, we allow ourselves to suffer. Doubt, fear, discouragement, unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, disappointment--all spiritual sicknesses that we somehow allow to fester, and become bigger problems. We need to remind ourselves that Jesus Christ is the Great Physician--the healer of physical and spiritual problems. As a believer in Christ, we have access to His presence, where we can find genuine, lasting, authentic healing.
Let's not let things go. Let's go to the Great Physician, who always knows what we need, even before we ask it.
