FACE TO FACE

Following up on my last update the Lord has put my proclamation to the test. In writing about trust dare I now trust the Lord in the midst of a medical confrontation that comes face to face on my pathway to His presence. About two months ago I was told that there was a tumour in my nose and that I had to go for a day surgery. During the day surgery I was told I needed to go for radio therapy. A week ago I was told I had a stage three nose cancer. Everybody is saying trust the Lord. I want to trust the Lord and I realised that it is not about trusting the Lord for healing but it is trusting the Lord for His dealings in my life. Trusting God in His Sovereignty in all circumstances can be daunting. It doesn't have to be so when we are convinced that His glory is of far greater importance than my desire to see signs and wonders. His miracles are still available and indeed the Lord still works miracles but what if there is no signs, wonders or miracles (on a human point of view)? Is God still God? Of course He is still God and His wisdom and ways will prevail.

Obviously our understanding in trusting God is a very humanistic one. We demand signs, wonders and miracles but the Lord just require a humble submission to His Sovereign will. His grace is sufficient for what it takes to live an extraordinary life in glorifying Him with all the is happening in our lives. What does God require of a man or a woman but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with our God. Walking in humility, accepting His Sovereign and permissive ways sis something that many find difficult since we have the tendency to trust in our rationale and emotions than trusting in Him. We mus remember that whatever we do in word, deeds or thoughts, we do it for His glory and his glory alone.

Thanks for your partnership and prayers. To His be all praise, honour and glory!!
