Gd Sovereign: Bringer of Sickness or Health

It may seem that any given thing can happen, but it is not true!

It is always a good time to have hope, as G-d has the power to annihilate disease, as will be explained.

Gd desires unconditional love – first, from his people no matter what condition we are in - He wants us to accept that our condition is relative to how He feels about us and/or our ancestors. Diseases, like cancer, may be formidable, yet Gd sometimes allows them to be.

However, we know cancer is a disease, so there must be a cure!

If we take care to observe Torah, then we pass His heart honesty test. Once we love Gd and His people, it is only a matter of time before improvement.

A righteous soul learns that Hashem leads His loved ones to practice Torah - charity, study, not to boil a kid in the mother’s milk, etc. - these behaviors He loves!

Lastly, Hashem wants us to love all of His creation in its entirety. Everything of creation is thus an enactment of His will including creation’s unknown variables, as in physics like degrees of freewill and apparent decisions mixing with some of creation's apparent determinism.

Pain or Suffering Problems?

While suffering exists in this age, we must believe Gd is omnipotent. Why then does Gd allow horrid things if He can stop any disease like magic?

To allow disease is not a sign of Gd’s impotence, even if it is a condition that is chronic and/or causing excruciating pain. Just as a rich man may lose everything in seconds, so to can any creature suffer disease. Similarly, as any man may gain a fortune in seconds, so to can we receive speedy recovery from any and every chronic disease.

Hashem desires for us to do His will; that we wrestle to understand His ways. He longs for us to choose Him through hearkening to His call. He desires for us to love Him, all of us, from the most pious king to the lowliest worm, but only of our own accord. While we don’t know why some may suffer; we know justice must prevail, either divine reward or divine punishment, according to our deeds. 

We can’t have faith and believe in the possibility of the incurable!

Maimonides taught that to deny Moshiach’s coming, and subsequently the arrival of a world without suffering, is equivalent to denial of Torah in its entirety. Thus, we are able to derive that in the age of Moshiach, pain and suffering will cease because of our own doing, as then we will be completely occupied with our relationship with G-d; that is when G-d gets His way, and if we love G-d then His way is our ideal.

Rather, than stumbling blocks, the existence of pain and suffering should be motivators for us to help Gd achieve His ultimate goal; peace on earth.
