God’s healing hand of provision is for his children. Often there is some question of “When do I pray and stand in faith?” or “When do I go to the doctor?” We find in the palm of [His] hand the scriptural provision, or steps, that one should follow in order to receive SUPERNATURAL healing. The palm of God’s hand is closer to his heart than the fingers which will represent NATURAL avenues of healing.
In our vereation of science and medicine, when we, in the west, get sick our first response is to “treat” our maladies by medication and/or doctors. Then when all else fails we turn to God and pray. This reflects the humanistic worldview that dominates our culture. In contrast, the Biblical worldview directs us to seek God first and natural/human interventions and the next course of action.
