"My God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19)
I am happy to report that my scan yesterday went extremely well. There is still no evidence of cancer on my liver, so I can happily go about my business for the next four months without any changes. I am very thankful for the prayers that went up on my behalf, and that God answered them in a positive way.
God definitely met my need yesterday, but I know that sometimes we pray and the answer is not what we want. It is not that God is not able or willing to answer a prayer with a yes, but it might not be the best thing for us, or the best timing. We think earthly thoughts and only see God's handiwork from the backside. Someday the masterpiece will be turned around and we will be able to see God's full work all at once and understand the inspiration and workings of the Master Painter.
"God does not need our money or our time and resources, but He invites us into this divine adventure of partnering with Him to see what only He can do. In His grace, he loves to work through us. We can spend the rest of our lives looking at what we do not have, or we can bring everything we have and are to Him and watch miracles take place." - Sheila Walsh, The Shelter of God's Promises.
Even when the storm is rough, have your eyes set firmly on Jesus. He does the impossible and unexpected, and has understanding beyond ours. When we bring everything to Him, we can unload our heavy burdens and expect the unexpected to happen.
Blessings,
Sandy
