Psalm 139
On Monday of this week our grandson Chad went to see a specialist because of a month-long limp. He had seen a doctor before Thanksgiving, but that doctor said it was just a minor injury. This new doctor said the hip was dangerously dislocated and required immediate surgery. He made one phone call, and in a few minutes, arranged for New England's foremost expert on hip surgery to schedule an operation the following day at Yale. It just happened they had the exact size screw required and the operating room was available.
The surgery occurred on Tuesday and the doctor was pleased with the outcome. Now we are trusting God for complete healing over the next two months.
Where was God in all of this mess? He was right there with us.
The psalmist wrote in Psalm 139:
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
These truths gave us great comfort knowing that God knows everything going on in our lives and he is there. He is intimately acquainted with every detail of this injury and surgery. His protective care was evident every day of the past month. It is absolutely breathtaking to consider God's constant watch and care over us. This means that whatever mess you are in today, God is there in the mess with you.
I encourage you to believe that God is involved in the smallest details of your life. To God be the glory!!
