Trust

Friday I went into the surgical room to have a device implanted into my body that helps with sleep apnea. When I went in I had a beard. For most of my adult life I’ve had a beard. It differs in length at times but I still have it. When I came to after the surgery I had no beard! At all!! I was a bit miffed at first but after some thought and consideration to the matter I concluded that the surgeon, who is very good, made a choice on my behalf that was best for me. I trusted him to do the right things or I would never have let them put me to sleep! There are times in our lives that harmful things cross our path and we either don’t see them as harmful or don’t know what to do about it. That is where putting your trust in the Holy Trinity is so vital. You see, sometimes we pray and don’t know what to ask. Or maybe we don’t know so we just don’t pray. The good news is that God knows. Romans 8:28 tells us that in all things God works for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us in prayer when we don’t know what to say. If we trust him, God will take care of things. It may not always look like what we would like it to. Like the doctor cutting my beard. It helps in keeping out infection, helps the wound heal better, and helps him do a better job without all that hair in his way. Maybe God needs to remove some things from our lives so he can better do his work through us!! Thank you dearest Lord for working for our good and your glory!!
Have a good day of worship today!!
