With all that has occurred in the last year the topic of illness has certainly been on people’s minds. I think we can agree everyone thinks about it. Whether you are for or against masks, or vaccines, or natural treatments is irrelevant to the point at hand. Each mask you see, each news story, and each time a person is faced with a decision to do or not do something is a reminder of sickness and disease. I’ve also had health issues in the last year and I’ve had several relatives who are encountering some very serious health struggles of one kind or another. It is with all this as a backdrop that I place the question before you, does God use sickness? And if so, what for?
