Sickness
Psalm 103:1-3 New English Translation
Psalm 103 by David.
103 Praise the Lord, O my soul. With all that is within me, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, O my soul. Do not forget all his kind deeds.
3 He is the one who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
4 who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your life with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.
Sin does not produce fruits of Holiness, sickness however does
Or at least it brings us closer to the position of “our” Maker
Even if we don’t recognize Him, sickness can be a plus
If we accept it in peace and reason why He gave it to us
When sick first deal with the Lord and when sickness prevails
Search for the understanding of what God tries to accomplish
There is always a good reason even possible for your surrounding
To show how much you trust in a way that can't be diminished
Jan Wienen
