“Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power—these are the true remedies.”  EGW in The Ministry of Healing p.127.

Did you see that?  Trusting in divine power is a natural remedy.  This remedy is listed last but is the most important.  Who or what is this divine power that we should trust anyway?  Is it the Universe or is it a god of love that loves us so much that He was willing to allow His son to die for us?  I believe that for there to be divine power, there has to be an all-powerful God.  Sadly, God has been misunderstood and misrepresented as an unjust and uncaring god.  Why would a loving God allow sin to just go on and on?  Why wasn’t Satan just destroyed in the first place so we wouldn’t have this terrible sinful world to live in?  These kinds of questions lingering in the back recesses of the mind or screaming loudly in the foreground will weaken or totally nullify this true remedy of trusting in divine power.

I have a suggestion.  Ellen White has written a book called Patriarchs and Prophets.  In this book, she writes about the very beginning of controversy between Christ and Satan.  I would like to share the first chapter with you.  It is called, “Why Was Sin Permitted?”  I read the book while pointing my camera at the beauty of my creek.  If you are stuck in the city where it is hard to see God in nature, then you can watch these videos and enjoy my creek and learn about the God of love that I serve.  As you learn to understand Him and to know His true character, you will learn to love Him and trust Him.
