I read this recently, Medicine is a monster-it will take everything you have and still want more. In this country we have a wonderful health service,
the whole population can be served by it,irrespective of cost. As a senior
citizen I receive free medication,I thank God for it,it is paid for out of taxes.
It does appear a bit of a monster one can imagine the cost of running it,and the demands on the staff.
I read of places in the world were there is such a need,and the few who are trying to meet that need,with limited resources.meeting the need can
become all consuming,and it is the same all over the world. While I
appreciate the medical needs of people everywhere ,people have other needs
spiritual needs.As one person puts it,/ It is also possible for Christians to be consumed with the pressure of caring for sick and injured bodies and have little left for the spirit of the sick/
Whatever ones physical requirements mans greatest need is Christ,that
will never change,our body will one day die,but that is not the end.A lady
I know, spoke how her neighbour came to her one day,and said she was afraid of death.The only sure hope of not fearing death is by knowing Jesus
as ones Saviour,that is one need no doctor can provide.
A prayer.
Dear God we thank for the help we receive for medical fraternity,but we
pray that people will look beyond their physical needs to their spiritual needs,which can only be met in Jesus. Amen
