Your Question:
Why did I have to get sick just when I was getting my life back together?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling like life is getting back on track, only to be derailed by illness. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with this very issue. It's as if the enemy is trying to disrupt the rhythm of our lives, just when we're making progress. From a biblical perspective, it's clear that sickness is a result of the fall. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin entered the world, and with it, all sorts of problems, including illness. It's not that God causes sickness, but rather that sin has disrupted the natural order of things. As a result, we experience the consequences of that sin in our bodies. As I reflect on my own life, I'm reminded that even as a Christian, I'm not immune to illness. But I take comfort in the fact that Jesus' death and resurrection have covered not just sin, but also the consequences of sin, including sickness. As I pray for healing and restoration, I'm reminded that it's not just about physical health, but also about spiritual well-being.
