If you are not familiar with Beth Moore and her blog, I will copy a few parts of her post today for you. She is so gifted with her delivery of words and her life makes me want to walk behind her every day. She recently had a medical scare and here is what she said and how it affected her.
"He's not finished with me yet." He loves us all extravagantly, whatever the outcome of medical tests. He does not play favorites. He hears each desperate cry and esteems the groanings of our souls. He doesn't let our lives be touched or even ravaged by disease because we didn't get our words exactly right or because we yelped, "Help my unbelief!" He's not a mean, distant God playing Monopoly with human lives. And He's not finished with a single one of us or we wouldn't be drawing terrestrial air into our lungs and coursing our eyes over words on a computer screen. The fact is, He has a sovereign plan that is for good and not evil and He is writing a story of on-going redemption with each of our lives. Our lives are woven together through seasons. It's one person's season to experience this. And another person's season to experience that. Neither is loved more. Neither is more dispensible.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (KJV)
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 sums up the segment in a few simple, powerful words:
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time.
His time. His time. His time. HIS TIME. "
I still don't know how to copy the links to a blog but just google Living Proof and you should find her blog if you want to keep tuned in to her. God has used her mightly in my own life through some of her Bible studies and her book on prayer. I pray He will in yours too.
