Verses from Genesis and Exodus

耶和华神把那人安置在伊甸园里,叫他耕种和看守那园子。(创世记 2:15)

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. (Genesis 2:15)

耶和华又说:“如果你留意听耶和华你神的声音,行他眼中看为正的事,侧耳听他的诫命,遵守他的一切律例;这样,我决不把加在埃及人身上的一切疾病加在你们身上,因为我是医治你的耶和华。”(出埃及记 15:26)

And He said, "If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer." (Exodus 15:26)

For reasons known only to God, He appointed humans to be His partners in the work of caring for creation (Gen. 2:15), and doctors are among them. Doctors study medical science and learn how God designed the body. They use this knowledge to help restore us to a healthy condition. But the only reason doctors can do anything to make us better is that God created us with the ability to heal. Surgeons would be useless if incisions didn’t heal.

Scientists can learn how God created our bodies to function, and they devise therapies to help restore or cure us, but they are not healers; God is (Ex. 15:26). Doctors simply cooperate with God’s original intent and design.

All praise and thanksgiving go to God, who designed an orderly universe and who created us with minds that can discover how it works.  

God is the ultimate Healer. Have you trust in Him being your Healer in all aspects? Have you given Him a chance to heal you, by believing in Him as the Great physician?
