Life certainly gets interesting on occasions, you must admit. Seems like I get to test that assurance thing a lot in the last several years. No need to get lax or comfortable I always say!
Thursday morning I was preparing for another tooth extraction. I have become a regular at the Dentist specialist who works on all those kinds of specialties. Have I mentioned that I am not a good patient for those "special" kind of professionals. I did ask some good friends to pray and don't you know that morning during my devotions came this "coincidental" phrase. "Rest your assurance on God's love in your heart - NOT on the fear in your mind!"
Well, that took care of any whining, or drama I could invent about the situation. So, I marched myself right in there and remembered people were praying. He was done in record time, I took 1/10 the pain medication, and no dry sockets or other complications that usually came my way from being there.
On top of that he gave me two months to make a decision about an implant or live with the double hole. On top of that, I needed my assurance in the right place as John goes to Goshen Tuesday for Sun Melanoma cancer removal. Whew! I am exercising every phrase, every scripture, and every prayer partner today. God's coincidences are so awesome are they not? We don't have to pace, fret, fuss, or stew. He is always looking out for us, so our job is what? Rest on the assurance that God is in your heart, and not on the fear in your mind.
