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 knocked off course by illness. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with the same issue. It's as if the devil is trying to disrupt the dance, the pattern of life that God has ordained for us. From a biblical perspective, sickness is a result of the fall, a consequence of sin entering the world. It's a reminder that we live in a fallen world, where evil and suffering are present. But as a Christian, I believe that Jesus' death on the cross covered not only sin, but also sickness. His sacrifice provides healing and redemption for our bodies, just as it does for our souls. As I reflect on my own life, I'm reminded that even as a husband and father, I'm not immune to illness. But I take comfort in knowing that God is still in control, and that His plan for my life is greater than any physical or emotional struggle I may face. I pray that you, too, will find comfort and healing in the midst of your illness, and that you'll continue to dance to the rhythm of God's plan for your life.
