This has been a very interesting week for me. I visited my doctor last Friday that prompted a heart stress test on Monday, a chest x ray today, and an appointment with a cardiologist next Monday. There are no definitive answers yet for all tests have come back normal except for some abnormalities on my EKG during the heart stress test.
All of this reminds me that God never leaves us or forsakes us for God does pour out God's unfailing love upon me every day. There have been days I haven't had the energy to walk, cook, or clean much less write this blog. My present physical condition is based on decisions that I have made about weight. I am obese, diabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and now anemic. I don't like to exercise. I love food. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit of God. How do I deal with issues of health that I created by bad choices I have made over the years?
Do I have the right to ask God to heal me? Do I ask God to direct the doctors to discover what is causing the problems I am having? Am I too old to get this under control?
God has been good to me. I have no right to expect God to help yet I know God will be with me for God promised in Psalm 23 that God is my Shepherd and that God will lead me through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. God's grace is for me. God's unfailing love is shown to me daily. Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God. Jesus is my Saviour. God's redemption is for me. All I have to do is place my trust in God's plan through Jesus. I do that gladly. God the Holy Spirit lives in me. God's Spirit gives me the ability to love, to forgive, and the power to overcome.
Thank you God for being the source of my life!
