Bless
the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all
thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life
from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender
mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagle's.
– Psalm 103:2-5

Is there actually a divine
purpose behind the bad things that happen in your life? Could it be that
the sicknesses and calamities you experience are somehow a part of
God's plan for you?
Before you can ever begin to experience the
healing, delivering power of God, you've got to know the answer to those
questions. You have to settle them once and for all. If you even
suspect that God is the source of your misfortunes, you won't be able to
believe Him for deliverance from them. Your faith will be crippled
because you'll think that by escaping those things, you'll be opposing
His will.
In order to receive all the benefits God desires to give
you, you must be absolutely sure that He is a good God. You must be
certain that His will for you is health, not sickness; prosperity, not
poverty; happiness, not sorrow—100 percent of the time! Psalms 103 alone
is enough to prove that's true. But if it's not enough to convince you,
there are many others too. One of the best known verses is Psalms 136:1
that says, "O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy
endureth for ever."
If religious traditions have robbed you of the
goodness of God, if they've taught you He brings trouble into your life
so He can teach you something, start today washing those traditions
away with the truth. Get out your Bible and let God Himself tell you
through His own Word that He is the God who heals you (Exodus 15:26).
Dig in to the Scriptures and discover for yourself that He is a God of
mercy (Psalms 86:5), lovingkindness (Jeremiah 9:24), and compassion
(Psalms 145:8).
Put your doubts to rest and open your heart to
receive the truth about your heavenly Father. It's the only thing that
can truly set you free.
