September 27

"I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13

Christ is my health forever. Praise him, this is a fact. To have the Lord heal me, and to have him as my healing are two very different things. May I remind you that Paul does not tell us he obtained healing as a thing in itself. What he says is that in his life he continued to have One who was his health. Though his weakness persisted, his healing also persisted. His weakness might be prolonged, but his health was prolonged too.

Most of us think of healing as a matter of elimination, but it is not that at all. It is the life-giving Person of the indwelling Christ. Healing is, for us, not the absence of weakness but the presence of a vital Power.
