That is the gospel, the message that I preached to you. You are saved by the gospel if you hold firmly to it — unless it was for nothing that you believed. – 1 Corinthians 15:2
My wife, Christine, and I arrived early in the hospital for the result of my mother in law’s angiogram. It would determine if she’d need an angioplasty, a heart bypass operation or just medications.The silence in the area added to the tension we felt. Questions after our meeting with the doctor the night before made us worried. What is the true condition of her heart? Can she handle a heart procedure? How risky is it? Where do we get the money for the operation?But even as we worried, a stream of text messages from friends, family, community members and officemates assured us that everything would be alright.We agreed to stop worrying about our concerns and decided to pray. This time, we used the silence in the lounge to talk to the Lord and entrust everything to Him. Shortly after we ended our prayer, the nurse called us. The doctor broke the great news that an angioplasty or bypass operation was no longer necessary.We didn’t have to worry after all. All that was needed was trust. -Alvin Fabella
REFLECTION:
Believing in the Gospel means entrusting everything to Him. Which areas of your life do you still need to surrender to Him?
Lord, You are worthy of trust. I replace my fears with faith in You.
