Reflecting on God's word

MRI's always weigh heavy on my heart and mind. I was encouraged and comforted by the devotion I read this morning. God knew just what I needed. The words I read today reminded me that as we face tomorrow afternoon's MRI, God never sends us into a situation alone. He always precedes us in any situation we encounter. He is prepared to meet our every need because He goes before us and knows exactly what we will need. I especially love the fact that not only does God go before us, but He also stands beside us and behind us, to provide protection and comfort. God is always present. How assuring it is to know that He is fully aware of what we are facing, and He is actively responding to our needs. There is nowhere that we can go and no situation that we face that we will not find Christ waiting for us to join Him.

These were good words for me on this eve of Kate's MRI. Perhaps they will also be an encouragement to some of you who are struggling with some difficult circumstances. There is assurance and comfort, knowing no matter what we face, we are hemmed in on all sides by God's presence.

Thank you for interceding on Kate's behalf for this MRI.

Surrounded by grace,
