English Christian Song | "What People Ought to Practice When They Get Sick"

November 29, 2024

I

When people get sick, they will suffer and feel down, and they have a limit to what they can endure. If people always thought to depend on their own strength to rid themselves of their sickness and escape it, they would suffer and feel down even more on the top of their illness. That's why the more people find themselves enveloped in sickness, the more they should seek the truth, and seek the way to practice to be in line with God's intentions. The more people are enveloped in sickness, the more they should come before God and know their own corruption and the unreasonable demands they make of God.

II

The more enveloped in sickness you are, the more your true submission is tested. Therefore, when you are sick, your ability to continue to submit to God's orchestrations and rebel against your own complaints and unreasonable demands shows that you are someone who truly pursues the truth and truly submits to God. It shows that you have testimony, that your loyalty and submission to God are real and can pass the test, and that they're not just slogans and doctrine. This is what people ought to practice when they get sick.

III

When you get sick, it is to reveal all your unreasonable demands and your unrealistic imaginings and notions about God, and it is also to test your faith in God and submission to Him. If you pass the test with these things, then you have true testimony and real evidence of your faith in God, your loyalty to God, and your submission to Him. This is what God wants, and it is what a created being should possess and live out.
