I asked a Christian doctor friend of mine about his religion and his
profession. He explained that being a doctor is very much like being a
car mechanic. He learnt about different parts of the body and how to fix
them when they go wrong.
However, unlike a car mechanic, he does
not have the complete blueprint plan of how the body was made and how
it functions. He explained that, thankfully, the Creator decided to keep
some parts of the blueprint secret in case we humans ruin the final
product completely.
What do you think?
I think that doctors can be helpful in certain areas, but it depends on what the situation is and what God has said about it. What comes to my mind is 2 Chronicles ch. 16 vs 12 and 13 which reads:-'In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the Lord, but only from the physicians. Then in the forty-first year of his reign Asa died and rested with his ancestors.' Sometimes when we seek the Lord over a sickness issue it can be far more powerful than when we go to the physician. For what man can not do - God can do.

...he's quite an architect.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Tom. Indeed.
DeleteGod bless.
With humans that was a very wise decision!
ReplyDeleteHumans have a habit of ruining things, Brian.
DeleteGod bless.
I have to agree with Brian on this one, Victor. Humans are just too good at messing things up.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I know Martha, I know ... don't mention my wife's cooking!!!
DeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteDoctors can of course save lives but after all it is a paid job... The one relation of LOVE with our Creator overlaps all that, is even larger than any human love. So God is our ultimate Healer; if we only go to him.
Hugs,
Mariette
God heals us both body and soul.
DeleteGod bless you Mariette.

DeleteBrilliant! I don't think our Father would want us getting too full of ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, Mevely. That is why there will always be things hidden to humanity. No matter how much we think we know, we don't know much more than that.
DeleteGod bless you.
Humans tend to throw curve balls when a straight one is required. Only God knows what they'll do.
ReplyDeleteHumans are so predictable at getting it wrong.
DeleteGod bless, Bill.
God's blueprint cannot be improved upon! What a great job He did.
ReplyDeleteGod gave the doctors the ability to heal us. They could't do it without Him but God CAN heal without doctors.
Yes, any talents or abilities we have are God's gift to us. Our gift is to use them for His glory.
DeleteGod bless, Happyone.
I’m sure God had the foresight to see what a mess we would make of a planet created in perfection. So, yes I agree that keeping some things out of our reach
ReplyDeleteis a blessing. Thanks, Victor for sharing this with us. Blessings.
God has to keep some things hidden from us because we are liable to make it worse.
DeleteGod bless you, Nells
The final blueprint is the Master's hand...where it belongs. So thankful He had given us doctors a section of it!!
ReplyDeleteAmen, Wanda. God has the blueprint.
DeleteGod bless.
Grandpa the doctor would agree that there's no way we know everything, and that life is sacred.
ReplyDeleteYes, life is very sacred. It is not a product to be decided upon by others.
DeleteGod bless, Mimi.
