For various reasons, the last few days have been discouraging for me. However, God has lifted my spirit and renewed my faith through His mercy and goodness toward a dear friend. A church member was recently diagnosed with cancer and has been going through treatment for it. This man is a true paradigm of the greatest generation. He always has a colorful and memorable anecdote for every situation. I have truly enjoyed getting to know him over the last few years.
This morning as I was in the middle of my routine drudgery at the office, I received a text message asking for prayer. They were at the doc's office awaiting the test results. I said a short prayer, asking for healing and good results.
So I got back to my rat killin', not giving it another thought. A little while later, for whatever reason, I thought of him and began to pray again. I didn't even finish my opening "Dear Lord Jesus" when I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. After I finished my quick prayer I read the most wonderful message. "No cancer. Give thanks to God. His mercies are new every morning"
Praise God.
