You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning, my God turns my darkness into light.
Psalm 18:28
A serious operation was long awaited for my loved one. All the tests accomplished over time with lots of prayers along the way for success. Other accomplishments met by asking for thoughts and prayers of prayer partners, friends and family. All set and yes, I was not the patient….however, I could have been fearful. I could have been nervous. With confidence meeting the day and time. All is good. Thank you, Lord.
The above paragraph represents over a year. With many doctor appointments, numerous tests, and delays in the road. This verse speaks to me on this day. I did not feel frightful even with unexpected occurrences. What did I find? Nurses with personality to ease discomfort. Welcoming people serving in all different ways at the hospital and on the phone. Meeting even a cafe server who had her own story. Seeing a gift of home grown flowers in a vase on the Volunteer desk with a sweet thank you from some grateful person. Doctors explaining things in the best of terms for a lay person to understand. What did I see or experience? God’s people serving Him and giving me His Light, His Goodness.
Further in the Psalm is the verse “with my God I can scale a wall.” Let’s remember King David’s words as we face challenges in the coming months at Lord of Grace. We have God’s light and with God we can do anything.
Dear God,
In times that test us, You are there. Thank you for your everlasting strength and for the Light of the World.
Through our Lord Jesus,
Amen
Peace be with you,
