Tell Your Heart To Beat Again....

The title to this blog is the chorus to a popular Christian song, where a surgeon does his work and yet it is not enough. He then leans over and tells the lady to tell her heart to start beating again and it does. Quite a miracle, but if like me, you have been in the hospital setting lately, or flying on a plane, one can only marvel at the wondrous advances that man has made and what we can now do, yet without belief and dependence on God, the maker of the universe, we understand we are still limited in our expertise.

 God's word however promises us even more. Peace that the world does not give. A confidence and trust in our Savior, Creator, Father and Friend. He promises to hear our prayers and is working all things to the good that love him and are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28.

As Christians we can have assurance, confidence that even in bad situations, even if the worst case scenario happens, that God is in control. Peace that the world cannot give as the bible puts in John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

So even when medicine, technical expertise and knowledge are at all time highs, it is still limited when compared to the Creator of the universe. Where is your eternal hope, faith and confidence today? What if today was your last breath?

 As I have recently sat in waiting rooms where others' loved ones have died, and read about plane crashes where tragedy makes the headlines, I continue to offer whispered prayers of protection and guidance for them, myself and those in my sphere, who are also in similar situations. I am given a glimpse of "what ifs", yet the bible says I am to trust and not fear. In my humanness that is not possible, but through Christ all things are possible. So whether in the physical or spiritual, I am encouraged as I listen to this song and I trust you are too....
