Points to ponder…Defects and deficits in health are

medicine and medical care
Whose body is it? Psalm 139:14, I praise you because I am
fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Romans 12:1, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship."
