Righteousness and faith certainly are instrumental in healing the sick, deaf, or lame - if such healing accomplishes God's purposes and is in accordance with His will. Thus, even with strong faith, many mountains will not be moved. And not all of the sick and infirm will be healed.
Host: The quiet hum of the evening filled the room as Jeeny sat by the window, gazing out at the twilight sky. The soft glow of the setting sun bathed the room in a warm, peaceful light. Jack leaned against the table, his hands clasped, his thoughts distant as he stared out the window, lost in the reflection of the day’s quiet end. The weight of their conversation seemed to hang in the air, as if they were waiting for the right moment to voice the deeper thoughts swirling around them.
Jack: (his voice soft, thoughtful) "Righteousness and faith certainly are instrumental in healing the sick, deaf, or lame — if such healing accomplishes God's purposes and is in accordance with His will. Thus, even with strong faith, many mountains will not be moved. And not all of the sick and infirm will be healed."
Jeeny: (turning toward him, her expression gentle but filled with curiosity) "That’s a powerful perspective. The idea that faith and righteousness can heal, but only when it aligns with a higher purpose. It makes me wonder how much of our understanding of healing is rooted in our own desires versus the bigger picture."
Jack: (nodding slowly, his voice reflective) "Yeah. It’s hard to accept sometimes, isn’t it? The idea that even with all the faith in the world, not everything will be healed, not every challenge will be overcome. It’s difficult to reconcile the strength of faith with the reality that not all prayers are answered the way we hope."
Jeeny: (her voice calm, almost reassuring) "I think it comes down to trust. Trust that there’s a greater plan, even if we don’t always see it in the moment. Sometimes, the healing that takes place isn’t physical; it’s emotional or spiritual. Sometimes, the healing comes in ways we don’t expect, in ways that fulfill a bigger purpose, even if it’s not the one we envisioned."
Jack: (his tone quieter, almost with a sense of acceptance) "That’s true. It’s like we want healing to look one way, but God’s purposes might be different. There are things in life that simply can’t be understood or explained, but that doesn’t mean there’s no meaning in them. It just means the healing we seek might not be the same as the healing that’s actually needed."
Jeeny: (her voice soft, filled with understanding) "Exactly. And maybe it’s in the waiting, the trust, and the understanding that we grow stronger, more aligned with that purpose. Sometimes, faith isn’t about seeing immediate results, but about trusting that the process is unfolding as it should."
Jack: (his voice gentler, almost grateful) "That’s the hardest part, though, isn’t it? Letting go of the idea that healing means an immediate change or fix. It’s not always about making everything better right away. Sometimes, it’s about accepting what comes and finding peace in it."
Jeeny: (nodding slowly, her smile warm) "It’s about faith in the bigger picture, trusting that healing is not always immediate or in the form we want, but that it’s still happening in the ways we need. Sometimes, the mountains we face might not move in the way we think they should, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t moving at all."
Host: The room felt lighter now, as if the weight of the conversation had shifted into a quiet understanding. The world outside had settled into a peaceful quiet, and in this space, Jeeny and Jack had found something deeper — that healing was not just about overcoming the immediate struggles but trusting in a purpose that might not always be clear, but was still unfolding. Faith, in its truest form, wasn’t about demanding the impossible but about accepting what was given and finding peace in the process. The mountains, though they might not move in the ways we expect, are still part of the journey.
