I was reminded of God’s faithfulness this morning…as I read the verse which helped me during a time when I discovered a blood clot. This lead to a journey through the health care system during the Christmas season of 2010 which was challenging in itself. Yet my strength to endure came form God’s word and His promises. Even though it took nearly two months, many doctor visits and an extensive battery of tests before the ‘specialists’ came up with their diagnosis I knew that whatever happened I would be alright. Now, after nearly three years I have not had any symptoms, nor did I have the recommended surgery to remove both my first ribs. Praise God for He is good…all the time!
“Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart.” Psalm 27:10 (12.27.2010 5 days after blood clot appeared)
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. He gives power to the weak, and strength to the powerless.” Isaiah 40:28-29
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
“To the poor, O Lord, You are a refuge from the storm. To the needy in distress, You are a shelter from the rain and the heat.” Isaiah 25:4
“Those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
