It is good!

Today was wonderful. It was a great way to top off this weekend.

I was finally able to attend church after too many weeks away. It was good to be reminded, to know and to feel that "God himself is with us." It was good to worship God with His people. It was good to sing praises. It was good to listen to a sermon in the sanctuary instead of watching it. It was just good.

I am often surprised at what God has to say to me as I sit listening to the message. While I was reading the passages of the day I was drawn to read further in the chapter. Since I had the privilege of hearing the message last night, I keep one ear open but two eyes glued to the words written on the pages of the Bible. I was drawn to read Matthew 6:25-34. Given the emotional and mental experiences of Thursday's visits with the surgeons, these verses spoke volumes. By Saturday, I had come to the conclusion that I would put off thinking too much about the Dec 5 surgery for this month as best I can. But today Jesus really summed it up in the conclusion of the passage "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." (NLT)

When God speaks, and I am willing to listen, He is so good!
