In Sickness and In Health

God Power Good Bad TheRayDestiny Quotes


 

On my wedding day, although it was a bit blurry because of nerves, I do remember that we spoke vows to one another. 

One of the vows and it's a popular one says "In Sickness and Health". 

It's a famous vow that is said but majorly prayed that the 'sickness' part never comes to be. 

It's not because you don't think you'll be present if your spouse ends up sick, but because it truly hurts to see someone you love so much go through something like that. 

To see them go through the pain and be vulnerable like that, weak even is hard, and knowing that you can't do anything really makes it worse. 

The only thing that you can really do is make it easier for them. You can do stuff like feed them, clothe them, help them wherever they need assistance, make sure they're comfortable and be a nurse to them until they're back to good health. 

The thought of this made me think of how God must feel when it comes to us being in sin. 

I've learned that God is truly a gentleman and He would never force Himself on anyone. 

Instead, He will make it easier for us, matter of fact, He has already made this easier for us when Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose. 

In the midst of our off-beaten path from the right path with Him, He still feeds us. With His Word, He still ensures that it reaches us (Matthew 24:14)

He still watches over us and helps us. He still ensures that our sinful lives don't overcome us and always provides a way for us to make it right. 

He still nurses us and lights the way to Him so that we can be saved. 

God is the true definition of for better or for worse, for rich and for poorer, for sickness and in health. 

He sticks closer than any brother. 

Even when we are far away, He is still close to us and subtly shows us that there's a way in Him that we can take. 

He doesn't desert us and He doesn't abandon us even when we fall. Although weak, He doesn't turn His back on us. 

That kind of loyalty, that kind of love is unfathomable. It's not often heard of in the midst of mankind, but always proven through God.

No matter how sick we may become in sin, God will always be there when it is time for us to find good health/ Him.

I'm reminded of the children of Ninevah. 

Who cry of repentance changed the heart of God quickly. 

God is with you.

In sickness and in health!

However, I don't want you to dwell in sickness just because you know that He is there. 

Like the children of Ninevah, they were in sickness as well but be reminded that sickness leads to death. Just like sin always leads to death and although God won't force you to serve Him, He will still send a warning. 

Don't take Him being present for you in your sickness for granted. Don't take the hints and the warning for you to step into good health for granted. Take heed. Take the medicine. Take the help. Take the assistance to get into good health.
