Poverty through sickness and diseases

From my experience of being sick, I learned that sickness can be very expensive and costly. Sickness and disease often lead to poverty. In fact, sickness, disease, and poverty can become a cycle. Medication and accessing treatment can cost lots of money. Being unable to work means you are spending while not earning. Medical insurance can go a long way in covering some of your expenses, but it does not always cover the 'new' costs of living. If through sickness and disease you become disabled, i.e. now limited in what you can do, it can be difficult to get a higher paying job. Your costs of living can go up while your income stays the same. Your costs of living can also go down or even become zero. New insurance policies typically will not cover existing or on-going medical conditions, and the cycle continues. This can leave you stuck in a rot and perhaps a helpless position.

The good news is that we have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus!

1 Peter 1:18-19 Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹⁸ You must know (recognize) that you were redeemed (ransomed) from the useless (fruitless) way of living inherited by tradition from [your] forefathers, not with corruptible things [such as] silver and gold, ¹⁹ But [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot.

We have been redeemed from sickness, poverty, and diseases. Have faith that God will take care of all your needs regardless of what they are. God will cover everything that your insurance will not cover, God will provide for you to cover all your new costs of living. He will make a way for you in your career where there seems to be no way. He will even top up your pension funds. He will take you to new heights and give you new wisdom. He works in ways that we can not see. He knows the end from the beginning. Have faith and live by faith.
