divine distraction

The past two Wednesday's I have been in the local urgent care...a place I do not like to go.  The first Wednesday I accompanied my dear wife to obtain some relief for her migraine headache.  That was a very successful visit and she is doing well.  This week I decided to drop in for myself.  Unusual and persistent abdominal pain was the cause and I thought the appendix might be acting up.  The doctor ruled that out but was concerned that there might be something more serious going on and so I stayed for a cat scan and blood work.  Needless to say I was much in prayer and in the word (Bible on my smart phone) during that three hour period.  It turned out to be a false alarm...some necessary bacteria seem to have gone on vacation in the digestive tract and things were acting up.  But I realized that when there is uncertainty and concern and unknowns about our health on a personal level the Lord really gets our attention.  He may allow distress and illness to come into our lives as a "divine distraction" to break us out of routines that aren't entirely focused on Him.  We realize that, ultimately, we really don't control our lives, or even understand what is happening to us at times.  When our body is affected and afflicted one lesson we may learn is that He not only knows what is happening, He is in control of what is happening and He is aware of our concerns, and.....best of all...He will be with us through the experience and greet us on the far side (whether here or in a better place) and we will never, ever be apart!

Romans 8:38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love.

blessings,
Rob Smith
