As God knows the answers to every life challenge and wishes to bring us into harmony with His perfect plan for our lives, we know He will go to the root of our challenges to heal us.

The secret is to make biblical changes in our life so that we learn to live God’s way in the midst of physical need and medical treatment. Notice what He says in the rest of 1 Corinthians 10:13:

"…and God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted (or tried) beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."

Joni Erickson TadaRemember, God is sovereign and will never allow a physical, emotional or spiritual problem to come into your life that would make it impossible for you to be obedient to His Word. A modern example of this type of obedience is the story of Joni Erickson Tada. As a teen-ager, Joni became a paraplegic due to a diving accident. She is confined to a wheelchair and has no feeling from her neck down. Yet she sees her circumstances as one of the ways God has shown His sufficiency in her life. You can see that by the smile on her face. If you haven’t done so, I would suggest you read the book or watch the video. You can get it at your local Bible bookstore.

If we believe that God is God and in control of the universe and the nations in addition to caring about every sparrow that falls and knowing every hair on our head, we have to believe that everything that happens and has happened to us was and is FOR good. The Bible says:

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers." Romans 8:28-29

If I remember that God's purposes for me are good, I can trust Him to give me 'hope' in the midst of my darkness. To get some ideas as to where to find that 'hope', let's click on to the next link.
