At church late rehearsal on Wednesday Tim started hurting very badly all of a sudden! A family friend,who is a doctor, checked him out and sent us to the ER for what he believed was kidney stones. He was right.
I really struggle with fear where financing is concerned. I tend to freak out when I know we are about to incur a large bill.
Well a trip to the ER equals LARGE BILL!!!!
As we were driving there, Tim was in a GREAT deal of pain and wasn't talking therefore satan had a nice quiet place to create fear in my heart and mind. He tried quickly to slip in and create a stronghold of fear. He hit hard but God is so faithful!
God already knew what was going to happen on December 13th and began over a month ago giving me "abiding" lessons. Instantly God's faithful words that had taken roots sprang to mind. "Abide in me" God is the giver of all that I need to live. He know exactly what I need and will supply each of those needs. There is no fear when you realize that your Father has everything under control
I remember the safety I always felt with my earthly father. Even if things were scary if daddy was there then I knew we were ok. I see this same comfort in my children with Tim. Our youngest daughter is VERY fearful when storms come unless she can snuggle up to her daddy. This is the picture that came to mind as satan began his fear tactics. Sweetly and gently God whispered to my heart "snuggle up close I am here there is no need to fear. Abide in Me." Instantly the fears were gone. I knew that I knew that God was near. He wasn't shaken or surprised by this event that had taken place.
I am so thankful that He begins and complete good works in me. He invest in my heart and mind so that when life gets alittle scary I can snuggle up to Him and know that this storm will pass and that my anchor holds.
Praise Him from whom all blessings flow!!!!
