God utilizes means, such as medicine, to effect healing, while ultimately maintaining sovereignty over the healing process.
The concept that God uses means in healing illustrates His sovereignty and providence. In the sermon, it is emphasized that while God is indeed the ultimate healer, He often employs natural means—such as physicians and medicine—to bring about physical recovery. This understanding counters the notion that seeking medical help is a lack of faith, reinforcing that faith and medical intervention can coexist. By examining instances where God used specific actions, such as Moses casting the tree into the waters of Marah, we see that while God can work directly, He frequently operates through created means to fulfill His purposes, affirming His continual involvement in the well-being of His people.
