It is amazing how we can be tempted to put our
trust in the skills of the medical profession, indicating that perhaps this has
become a substitute god for us.
Sometimes we have emphasised statistics – how many people come through
this type of surgery with flying colours.
While I have no desire to minimise what medical practitioners can do and
have done, it is important to affirm that no matter how good these
professionals might be at their job, our trust is in the Lord our God. To leave Him out of the equation is atheism,
and we are not into that. But to see the
skills of medical practitioners as being the gifts of God for the benefit of
mankind and a demonstration of His common grace to all, is to view them in
their proper perspective, for then we can pray to God the Father to use and
bless the gifts He has given to men for the benefit of those about whom we are
concerned.
