get back to HIM, .
Put wrong things right.
Throw down those idols.
Back to prayer, faith, love, and new consecration.
Then shall my olive be laden again. (Reading Isaiah 17:6)
Jehovah God loves us too wisely to think more of our natural pleasure than of our spiritual profit.
It is very reasonable that God should expect us to trust Him for our bodies as well as our souls. If our faith is not practical enough to bring us temporal relief, how can we be schooled to depend upon God for anything that involves serious risk?
It is all very well to talk about trusting God for the distant and future prospect of salvation after death. There is scarcely a sinner in a Christian land who does not trust to be saved some day, but there is no grasp in faith like this. It is only when we come face to face with positive issues and overwhelming forces that we can prove the reality of divine power in a supernatural life. As an education to our spirits as well as a gracious provision for our temporal bodies, God has always trained His people to recognize Him as the supply of all their needs, and to look to Him as the Physician of their bodies and the Father of their spirits. Have we learned the meaning of Jehovah-rophi? (see Exodus 15:23-27). Has it changed our Marah of trial into an Elim of blessing and praise?
Scripture
I am the Lord that healeth thee—Exodus 15:26
