I know from personal experience a lot of times if the problem is 'Chronic' and not 'Acute' then western doctors are next to useless. They will provide pills that destroy the gut micro-biome in an attempt to rebuild the gut microbiome! That isn't to say they can't be helpful in severe situations but a dependency on man is not biblical, a dependancy on God's power through Christ is. As Solomon proclaimed in Pro 17:22, 'A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.'
Is it any wonder that the patriarchs of Israel lived such rich lifespans, simply dwarfing what we accept as a good lifespan today... Abraham 175yrs, Isaac 180yrs, Jacob 147yrs, Simeon 120yrs, Levi 137yrs etc.
Two things these men all had in common was that they were not relying on toxic pharmaceuticals from profit driven individuals to heal their God given bodies, and number two is that they all shared a fear and a deep trust in the power of the Lord.
Pro 3:5-6, 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.'
Thanks for a thought provoking post, I look forward to more of the like 😊
