The Bible-God's Care Plan
In health
care it is important to provide a "seamless" flow of continued care
for patients, from the time treatment begins to the time optimum health is reached. This is provided by having a care plan. This "flow" is
important so that a patient receives the most necessary, most efficient care over
time. Also, it provides direction to reach the goals set that provide optimum patient outcome. This is termed "continuity of
care". One of the goals is to
provide trust in the patient/provider relationship.
At anytime,
but especially difficult times, Christians must have an unwavering
"trust" in God. When seeking Him, many look to scripture. It is
important to know that one can trust the scripture as being infallible. It is valuable as well to be able to relate to it.
In 1 Timothy
3 we learn that all scripture is God breathed, or inspired. Even though men had
the responsibility to write it, they were inspire by God himself. Another verse
that helps us to trust this is Romans 15:4. Here we learn that there is an
important connection between the old and new testaments. Why? To establish
instruction which establishes perseverance and encouragement. How? We are able
to see the resemblance of then and now. Many do not relate to the Bible. Many want to argue that the Bible is out of date. That is not true!
It is as much real today as it was then.
The world
today is in much of the same place it was in Biblical times. Don't trust me?
Read for yourself. There is "continuity" between the old and new
testaments. Why? God designed it to provide a "continuous flow" or "continuity
of care" for our benefit. The men and women of the scripture were just
like you and me, living with similar circumstances. We can learn from their
situations the benefit of trusting in God.
