Who is the doctor and who is the healer?

This is Dr. John Rich and his wife and helper, Jo.  They were a great team and close friends of ours for many years.  John was a plastic surgeon.  Jo is in heaven now, but John still works for Jesus in the Denver area.  He often said to me, "God is the healer.  We are his helpers."

Favorite Verse: Mark 5.

²⁶ and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse—

Thought for the day: 

Doctors who see themselves as "gods" take too much upon themselves.  Doctors who see themselves as helpers of the great "Healer" can be successful along with nurses and others as they minister to the sick.  When we become arrogant and think of ourselves too highly, we will be humbled by life.  

Jesus healed a woman whom doctors could not help. He does this day after day. One of my good friends had open heart surgery and it was apparently successful.  The day after his surgery his condition grew worse.  His doctor informed him that he must go back in to see what's happening.  The doctor asked him if he was a man of prayer.  He said he was and they prayed together.  

The doctor took him back into surgery and looked carefully at everything. It looked perfect from a surgery standpoint. He got better day after day. That happened several years ago and he is doing fine.  He told me that the doctor didn't know of a thing they did after the first surgery except pray.
