The question can be asked 'Why?' isn't everyone healed? The truth is, sometimes God heals us in response to the prayer of faith (James 5:14), other times He takes us to Heaven, which Paul describes as 'far better' (Philippians 1:23). The real answer is: 'We don't know, and God doesn't tell us!' Paul, who wrote half the New Testament, had a ministry so miraculous that the dead were raised, yet he confessed, 'We know in part.' (1 Corinthians 13:9) Paul didn't have all the answers and neither do we. In Hebrews chapter 11, some 'escaped the edge of the sword' (Hebrews 11:34 NIV), while others 'were put to death by the sword.' (Hebrews 11:37 NIV) But notice in verse 39, 'These were all commended for their faith.' It seems clear that we can't always measure faith by results. Faith is a virtue and value on its own merit. Our faith is not based on what we get, it's based on who we trust. Who are you trusting today in your harshest trials? Never let your faith waver because he is always with you! You are loved...
