Trusting God

Proverbs 3:4-8 says - 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will guide your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. 8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

As I prayed over my wife these words come back from my child hood. 5&6 were a memory verse we learned several years in a row in VBS. Now these recitations bring comfort, and peace. As a medical professional for several years, I know what is happening with my wife. I have my own understanding of all that is going on. Yet I believe God is calling me to not lean on my limited understandings of the human body. Nor my limited understanding on how medicine works. But he is calling me to lean on Him. To acknowledge his Grace, Mercy, Holiness and righteousness. As I watch my wife sleep I realize how much I need my Lord tonight, today and in my tomorrows. She wakes from sleep asks for ice, or swabs for her mouth. I seek to serve. Yet I seek my Christ and our Lord on an even deeper level. I am learning. I do not have the answer, But my Lord Jesus Christ knows all. He was there when she was formed.

As I ponder this Knowing Marsha when she was formed. I remember something my Pappo taught me. We were working in his garage with wood. As he was building he and I were talking about many things. As we finished I though he had forgotten to do something early on. Pappo smiled, told me he was the builder and knew every little nail, cut and glue of this beautiful piece of wood. And it was perfect with out my addition. If anything were to go wrong with his wood work, he knew how to repair it. For he was the builder. Our Lord Jesus is the builder, knows all there is to know about us.

So pray for me today. That I will totally lean on my Lord Jesus Christ through this and not on my limited knowledge of medicine.

I love yall
