Aug. 3, 2008 - I Am Well Thanks To God © by Shirley Mitchell, Columnist
July 4, 2008, my perfect health for my 70 young years came to a sudden standstill. Thanks to modern medicine and a pacemaker placed in my chest, I am again a bionic woman with a second chance at life. It took me a few days to get my mind wrapped around the fact that my perfect health I had enjoyed all my life was gone.
I felt like David in 1 Samuel 30:1-6 (KJV) "And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; "And had taken the women captives, and were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. "So David and his men came to the city, and, behold it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. "Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep. "And David's two wives were taken captives... "And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God."
So I grieved over my sick heart, then I encouraged myself in my God. Being under the umbrella of God's presence I knew my pacemaker for my heart was a gain, not a loss. Many people in our world today are hurting! We have war, economic stress, global warming, natural disasters and failing health. Families are falling apart, and addictions plague many lives. In such times as these it is imperative we connect with our creator, the ruler of the universe.
As David, we will pray to our God and He will hear. Verse 8: "And David inquired at the Lord, 'Shall I pursue after this troop (Amelekites)? Shall I overtake them?' And He answered, 'Pursue, for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail, recover all.'" And David recovered all. Verse 18: "And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away; and David rescued his two wives."
Nothing is lost under the protection of God. As we live the Christian life abundantly, our recovery from hard times begins on the inside soul as we connect with our King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Encourage yourself in your Lord. Connect with Him for divine guidance. Pursue the enemy. The victory is yours. There is victory in Jesus!
