Sometimes we are in need financially, out of work, or facing large economic responsibilities. Sometimes we are praying for help for one of our children and their problems or for the various concerns of family or friends. In all of these things we are recognizing the truth of this verse that it is God who we have to turn to at all times for help and guidance in our lives. We also need to recognize that we have to turn to God for not only our physical health and healing but also for spiritual health. Just as God is the only one we can turn to for physical healing he is also the only one we can turn to for spiritual healing.
People are spiritually sick because of their sins.
God tell us in the Bible that we are all sinners. This means that we have all violated God s laws thousands and thousands of times. God uses physical illness as a picture or illustration of sin in the Bible. In these two examples we see how God uses illness as a picture of sin in the Bible. So we see that we are all sinners guilty before a holy God and that the consequences of that sin is very serious.
