Trust
I began this blog last August thanking
God for my victory over prostate cancer.
It has been over two years since I was anesthetized and the cancer successfully removed. Well, once again, I am undergoing another
surgery and this time it is for kidney stones.
It is easy to say outpatient
surgery. It makes one feel a lot
better but the truth is that I will again have a general anesthetic and be totally
unconscious.
I will have to trust the doctor, this
nice stranger, whom I just met a few months ago. I will have to believe that he will do
everything in his power to eliminate my problem. But thank God, I do not have to put my trust
in him alone; I have the privilege to totally trust God who is in charge of my
doctor. I do not have to rely on my own understanding
of the operation (Proverbs 3:5).
In Psalm 56, David was fleeing from
King Saul and sought refuge among the Philistines (Psalm 56:10, 11). He must
have been desperate because you may recall that David had killed the champion
of the Philistines, Goliath. Needless to
say, David was not welcomed with open arms but he trusted in God (1 Samuel
21:10-12).
Today you may be involved with
problems and you do not know whom to trust.
Let me recommend my friend, my Saviour, and the One in whom I have trusted
for most of my life, Jesus Christ. If
you have trust issues, He can solve them.
If you have been betrayed, be assured that He is for you (Psalm 56:9). If
you feel you are alone, He will never leave you nor will He forsake you
(Hebrews 13:5).
Please comment below and share how you trusted
God in your life. Your comments may bless others to
follow your example.
