Today we went to the zoo. Breanna, our granddaughter, turned five and this was Trish and my gift to her. She loves every kind of animal. Talk about excited! Bree took over the zoo map and ticked off each kind of creature once we'd visited that enclosure. Elephants are her favourite. God Loves Us So Very Much
It was such a delight to see Trish and Breanna together, there is this bond, this grandmother/granddaughter relationship. I was very aware that that is how my heavenly Abba Father is towards me, towards every single one of us: (Luke 13:34 NIV) . . as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings . .
The Creation
Zoos remind us that the creation is unendingly amazing. The synergy between all the creatures, the landscapes, and the various climates, even the migrations. Everything is so finely balanced and yet God sustains it, day by day, and by season, and by year. Too Much?
Does this mean that I'm asking too much when I put myself into Jesus' hands? I asked that in 30 days Jesus will fully heal me of the sixteen distinct medical complaints that I have been seeing 8 medical specialists and 2 GP doctors for, some for over 20 years? I have stopped taking my medications.
God is so busy with His creation. Yet when things don't fit, or begin to fail, they die. Should I be content with the wonderful healings and other blessings I have already received? My emotions, relationships and addictions were bad. Jesus healed them and delivered me. Compared with so many I have a great life, people even say that I am young for my age.
Pondering
Is my stopping all my medications a work? Is it a challenge to God? Am I testing Him? (Matthew 4:7) Jesus said to Satan, "It is written, 'You shall not test the Lord, your God.'"
I've been pondering this and asking Jesus to speak clearly. Am I testing you Lord? Is mine an acceptable request?
Favourite Scripture:
(Colossians 1:15-20 NIV) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Is Jesus the answer? Yes. Is He my answer here? I truly do not know, we'll come back to this . .
Praise Jesus
Amen
