2 Chronicles 16:12-13
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa developed a serious foot disease. Yet even with the severity of his disease, he did not seek the Lord’s help but turned only to his physicians. 13 So he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
Just to clear it up from the start... I am not against Doctors, nurses or any other health care providers. Luke, an apostle of Jesus Christ, was a doctor.
I have said in the past, and I still believe, that our medical system is free and easy to access. We have over the counter medications available everywhere and most have a well-stocked medicine cabinet and the resources to purchase anything we need to help with almost anything. It is convenient. I believe that it is too convenient.
We, as, Christians are to put God first in our lives and most of the time when something happens or we begin to get sick our first reaction is not to bring it to God or to even see what his word says about the matter. We don't take time to be still and wait on the answer that He will give us. God is longing for relationship with each of His children. He wants us to honor Him with our requests. He is just waiting for us to run to him and ask him to kiss our owies better!
Asa did not die because he turned to physicians for assistance. He died because he did not seek the Lord's help... but turned ONLY to his physicians.
I think that it is time that we honor God by allowing Him into every area of our lives and live lives of dependence on God instead of only giving Him what we think we can't handle on our own.
Go to God first in everything and watch Him take care of your every need in amazing life changing ways!

Matthew 6:32-34
32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
