The Eyes of Faith

Well, were off to the doctor again today.  We were not able to make the last appointment, and I wanted to make sure that my wife got in before all the holiday gatherings, so that I would have up to date information in order to answer all the relatives questions.  This weekend I was thinking about the multitude of doctors, nurses, technicians and other medical personnel that we have seen over the last four years.  With all that input, it can be real easy to allow your emotions to fall into the trap of believing the current diagnosis that medical science has to offer for this disease. 

That’s where the importance of what I shared in the blog yesterday (“I CAN Get Some Satisfaction!” – 11/14/11) comes into play.  The only thing that can satisfy us and is the foundation of what we are EXPECTING is the word of God!  Once again, Hebrews 11:1 states that “Faith assures us of the things we expect…”  (Gods Word ©), and we know that our faith only comes “by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17 King James Version). 

I am very thankful for all of those medical specialists that we have seen over the years.  Their help and concern has been invaluable, but the bottom line is that overall, we have decided to accept what Jesus says about the outcome of sickness and disease.  I thank God daily, that we have a higher source, an expert on the subject, Who’s word in infallible!

I have to tell you, that it is only because of THAT WORD that I am able to make it through the daily events of our current situation.  For me it is continually looking past what I see on the outside and concentrating on what the Word says about the ever increasing, visible results of the healing that is in motion within my wife.

And so, I encourage you today to look past any adverse situation that you may see, to stand strong on the His word, and like me, to see with the eyes of faith!  Remember, “God raised him to the highest place above and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.”  (Philippians 2:9 – Good News Bible)  Stay tuned and keep asking yourself… “What Good Things am I expecting To See today?”
