Frequenting the Physician

We, who are afflicted with some malady, whether physical or spiritual, have cause to rejoice. “They that be whole need not a physician,” says our Great Physician. “The whole can give the physician a good word, but the sick alone know how to prize Him” (Thomas Watson).

No wonder Paul said, “I glory in my infirmities.” I believe one of the main reasons for his saying this was the fact that he could frequent his Heavenly Physician. If you see your doctor every day, it is not long before a professional service becomes an intimate, personal relationship.

We’re told He is “touched with the feeling of our infirmities.” Every groan from one of His patients goes to the heart of our Physician. He’s the only doctor that can cast a look upon the sufferer, and they immediately feel better.

If you're a suffering saint who is too weak to make an office call, our Heavenly Physician will come to you. HE still makes house call.
