Finding comfort under God's umbrella

Recently we received some concerning news that a family member was showing signs of Parkinson disease so they were going in for testing.

This came under heels of praise that another family members cancer was successfully (Praise God) being treated and looking, for the time being, won over and my own news that my health was in the clear after some personal concerns.

Through it all…rather than treating this with a “oh no, not again,” the family instead reacted with, “we are safe in God’s hands and no matter what He brings us, we will see it through for He has already conquer”.

For unbelievers, this maybe seized on as sign of God’s failure or “what did you do” or “you deserve this” or maybe a sign of weakness, but for the believer in the healing powers of Jesus Christ, but all the more, the loving Grace of our Heavenly Father, this is a sign of true belief that no matter what comes along…its not of God, but rather of an imperfect and broken world that HE has conquered and sees to deliver us through.

Rather than groan and wish for deliverance, instead, we give praise that no matter what, He is there and will see us through and in the end, one day, we will be free of the broken world and resting in the loving and perfect world, known as our Heavenly Father’s home, that waits for us one day.

We live in a stormy world where we don’t know what tomorrow may bring, or we may be abandoned or feel abandoned , or maybe, we may feel alone, but through it all, no matter what, this is all temporary , compared to the permanent world of Our Heavenly Father and the world, He prepares for us.

Not much was said on the heels of this latest discussion, other than wait and see what test results brings and we will go from there. I know no matter what…God has already promised us that…..“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[ have been called according to his purpose.-Romans 8:28″

Keep strong Gentle Readers and keep the faith in our Heavenly Father. You may feel the world is bowling you over with one thing after the other, but through your faith in Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father above, is and will see you through, no matter what happens.

All that happens..are but small grains of salt that will one day, mean nothing. Don’t let worry become a new disease to threaten the joy,hope and faith that our Heavenly Father has to offer.

This sounds silly,but to quote off  from the beginning of “Star Wars-The Clone Wars”,”Fear is a disease and hope is the only cure.

As a Christian…we could add…Hope through and in Jesus Christ is the only cure.
