5 Stories From The Bible For Nurses

Here are 5 great stories from the Bible for nurses.

Hebrew Nurses – Exodus 2

In an interesting twist, Moses’ mother had to give him away as a baby because Pharaoh had ordered all the Hebrew boys to be killed, but Moses escaped and was found by Pharaoh’s daughter who had pity on the baby Moses, so “Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you” (Exodus 2:7)?

A Nursing Child  – Numbers 11

Mothers are the most natural nurse there is, even if they’ve never received training, they’ve had life experience and know what works and doesn’t work.  When Moses was frustrated with the nation of Israel’s disobedience, he asked God, “Did I conceive all this people? Did I give them birth, that you should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing child,’ to the land that you swore to give their fathers” (Numbers 11:12)? Even Moses acknowledges that nursing mothers are essential to a child’s welfare.

Showing Hospitality – Romans 12

I’ve done a lot of hospital visitation in my years and I’ve seen how nurses can make a great deal of difference in the life of a patient.  What they do, knowingly or not, is to “Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality” (Romans 12:13).  Most people who have a good nurse who shows hospitality recover faster and are more joyful in their hospital stay…all because of a nurse who contributes “to the needs of the saints.”

Good Medicine – Proverbs 17

Joy has a medicinal property to it.  The Bible teaches that “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” (Proverbs 17:22), and when you’re receiving care from a good nurse, she or he can be as good as medicine.  Joy is contagious and when nurses care for the sick, it’s as good as any medicine they can take.

Bearing the Weak – Romans 15

Nurses are among the most hospitable people on the planet.  We need this hospitality when we’re laid up or have a serious injury or disease because they can help bear with our failings of weakness.  Christian, and not just nurses, should have a strong “obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves” (Romans 15:1).  A nurse is a servant to the patient, and they’re not there to please themselves but to please those patients they serve.

Thank a Nurse

If you know of a nurse or are a nurse, we give you thanks for serving.  You may not receive all the accolades that you deserve, but God is watching and seeing how you show hospitality, mercy, kindness, and tender-loving care.  Nurses can make all the difference in your stay at a hospital.  Make sure you tell them that.
