kinda nervous. i know i shouldnt worry, and i'm trying not to. i really am. God always has a way of allowing me to be tried on good days. :) what a smart guy.
my dad is having some sort of surgery tomorrow, and i am worried. however, God also has a way of protecting and preparing me for hard times. today, in came in the form of a little book called "my upmost for His highest." if you ever find that book, look at may 15.
The author, Oswald Chambers, writes:
"You did not do anything to achieve your salvation, but you must do something to exhibit it... May God not find complaints in us anymore, but spiritual vitality- a readiness to face anything He brings our way. The only proper goal of life is that we manifest the Son of God; and when this occurs, all of our dictating of our demans to God disappears... We are here to submit to His will so that He may work through us what He wants.
Rise to the Occasion- do what the trial demands of you. It does not matter how much it hurts as long as it gives God the opportunity to manifest the life of Jesus in your body."
wouldnt you breathe easier after reading that?
