Maybe this Watergate is like the Old Testament. It was visited upon us and maybe were going to benefit from it.

Pride causes us to use our gifts as though they came from ourselves, not benefits received from God, and to usurp our benefactor’s glory.

It’s not about curing the disease, but healing the life; then the physical benefits come.
