Second Chronicles chapter 16 verse 12 it says and Asa who was a great king of Israel by the way and Asa in the 30th and
9th year of his reign was diseased in his feet
So he had a problem. He was diseased in his feet and says until his disease was exceeding great
Yet in his disease. He sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians and so here we have
Something that God it's not an accident that God just tells us this at the end of the chapter in 2nd Chronicles chapter 16
God wants us to see that although Asa was a great king. He was a great king of faith
he got the sodomites out of the land praise God and
He was it did you know he did great mighty things for God
But when it came to his health care he sought to the physicians first
Actually, it says he didn't even seek the Lord at all, but he sought to the physicians
So look here's something about health care that we have to get tonight
That you need to go to the Lord first with your medical problems
Okay, and I'm not saying don't go to the doctor. How about you do like a triple combi?
You know you go to the doctor
You ask God to help heal you you go to your brothers and sisters in Christ for prayer you pray for yourself and
Maybe
Through all three of those things you're gonna get better
You know, but don't go just to the doctors and seek their help because then you're saying well
I don't even trust God to help me with my health issues
And look everybody has health issues at some kind
Of some type and maybe you don't have them now because you're young
but maybe you'll have them later because you get old because the older we get the weaker we get and
We start to like I've never had pneumonia in my life until just recently
So I think you know that's pretty you know. I think that's probably because I'm getting older or something
I don't know what it is, but maybe I'm just driving myself into the ground or something
But I got pneumonia, and I was I felt pretty weak because of it
And so I did pray to God for help
And you know I believe that God helped me get better because you know some people die from pneumonia
Did you know that
Some people die in the hospital no matter how much medicine they get no matter how much care
They get some for some reason they still just die
You know that's the difference between us and the heathen that we have a God that we can go to and pray to and he'll
Help us in a time of need
