1st Aid 1st

I was talking to a Christian friend at work today about my cancer and he relayed a story his Pastor shared with his family when they were going through some medical problems with their son.

His Pastor told him there are 3 types of aid available in our lives:

1st Aid should taking our concerns to God
2nd Aid should be taking our requests to fellow believers
3rd Aid should be going to the Doctor or other medical professional.

The Pastor made the point that this can happen in a short period of time, because we do not know God's plan for us. Sometimes God chooses to heal quickly, sometimes slowly, and sometimes not at all, until we get a new body in Heaven.

God also works through Doctors to bring his plans for us to reality. So it does not show a lack of faith to go to the Doctor.

Something to keep in mind for the future.
