while he wrestled

WASHINGTON — When President Obama named his choices for his administration's two top medical posts, he chose people of private faith and public acclaim whose positions may put them out of step with fellow believers.
 
**********************
the modern mind would rather think in terms
of trans fats or cholesterol or carcinogens or
any of a huge number disease causing factors.
 
but these were much simpler times and I believe
mens minds may have been closer to the truth.
 
So whatever it is that is bothering us, causing
the many trips to the doctor or the obsessions
at the gym or the beauty parlor or the the
anxious questions to the pharmacist.....
 
while we are thinking about this or that remedy
to whatever it is that ails us....let remember
that it was "while he was wrestling with God"
that Jacob developed his "bone problems".
　
When the angel saw that he could not win against Jacob,
he touched the socket of Jacob's hip
so that it was dislocated as they wrestled.
Genesis 32:25
 
 
this is not to say that one should not
seek out the advice of "modern medicine"
but just to remind us that
"IT IS HE THAT HATH MADE US
AND NOT WE OURSELVES"
 
there is a big tendency nowadays
to leave God out of the equation...
...it is the FOOL that says
(in his heart) "there is no GOD !!!
 
COULD GOD BE TRYING TO
GET OUR ATTENTION?
there may be a closer connection than we
think between our Physical well being
and our beleif in GOD !!!
