I’ve been blogging almost every day for several years now, endeavoring to encourage others and to praise Jesus who is our source in time of need.
That’s easy for me to do because Jesus has carried me through some rocky places.
Riding in the car this morning, glad my husband is driving in the fierce downpour of rain, I suddenly became concerned about facing the inevitable — not the chemo but the nausea.
The last two episodes of cancer assaulting my body, I asked the Lord to keep me from nausea. Each time, after the first treatment, I did not get nauseated.
A gospel song began playing from my thumb drive, replacing my concern with peace. I love it when God gives me a song. His timing is perfect.
“I don't know about tomorrow — I just live from day to day. — I don't borrow from it's sunshine — For it's skies may turn to gray. — I don't worry o'er the future — For I know what Jesus said. — And today I'll walk beside Him — For He knows what is ahead.
“Many things about tomorrow — I don't seem to understand — But I know who holds tomorrow — And I know who holds my hand.” — Ira Stanphill
Cancer sucks, but God is ever so near.
Ideas for this unprofitable blog are taken from The Sermon Notebook—Biblical resources for preachers and teachers of the word of God. They allow these sermons to be used as the Lord leads but not for profit.
