Testifying of God’s Goodness
Songs like “Somebody Ought to Testify” and “I Just Got to Testify” keep coming to mind today since that’s exactly what I need to do: testify to the goodness of my Father.
This has been an interesting week for me. Last Saturday, I injured my leg and, although it’s a long story (in other words, typical of me, I have no idea what I did), it’s affected my walking. I’ve heard stories of people having to be on crutches or in a chair for weeks to months due to foot and leg injuries but I’m praising God that, one week later, although I still have to go slow and I’m trying not to overdo, I am able to walk and I feel like God’s giving me a quick recovery. It is so amazing to have a Father who loves me and cares for me that much.
On Wednesday, I came down with a sore throat and prepared myself to go through a long bout but, again, God is already touching my body and I feel like I may not have to go through a long drawn out, miserable cold or cough. I’m still fighting but I know God’s on my side and I’m trusting Him to allow me the downtime and rest that I need but not to exceed that.
Maybe these seem like little things to you but, to me, they are huge. In a way, it’s what I expect of my Father but I don’t ever want to take Him for granted. He could easily keep me laid up for six weeks but His mercy astounds me. I’ve actually appreciated the time to slow down a bit and re-connect with Him. It’s been way too long since I’ve focused on Him and His love for me and I’ve forgotten how much I miss that feeling. I needed the reminder to do that and pray I will be more instant from now on.
I will hopefully get to my NQC coverage next week but, for now, I just want to thank God for loving me and being here and for being real. I feel sorry for those who don’t have a God to turn to. I don’t know why He turns toward me but I’m so thankful that He does.
