Elijah's Secret Weapon |
I was at home recovering from surgery to my TM joint. The cushioning disc had been dislocated a second time in my 5th car accident and the surgeon stitched it back into place again and removed a lot of scar tissue. While in Hospital my blood pressure was either too high or too low and affected me still when I got home. I was not feeling very well and was about to have some scans and another blood test because of possible kidney or other organ trouble. Our second car had been stolen, so my transport to various places was limited and I was lounging around the house a lot. I didn't feel up to doing much. Then out of the blue, my daughter turned up to stay for a few days. She had taken time off work. I perked up and immediately knew that God had given me what I needed before I even knew what I needed. I had been feeling "down" and thinking that I was going to die soon.....I was on the way out. The following week a friend came and took me to visit an art gallery. It was very pleasant even though the talking was a bit much for my jaw. God was providing the practical help I needed. The scan showed that my kidney was thinning but OK. The first scan that I had had 10 years earlier showed one recognize nodule. The second a few years later had shown two and now there was only one again! Some things about the gallbladder had improved and some had not. Overall there was nothing much to worry about there. The urine retest was fine too The doctor thought that the previous one must have been misinterpreted! I wasn't on the way out as fast as I had been feeling! I began reminding myself that I would long enjoy the work of my hands and some enthusiasm returned. I was able to get to work on some unfinished tasks around the house again. How miserable life would be

I
started another art work and asked God what I should call it. I opened
the bible and the words from Isaiah jumped out at me. They were perfect.....you
will build houses and live as long as trees and long enjoy the work of
your hands (summarized). I knew that God was speaking to me in my situation
as well and received a burst of joy. My visit later that day confirmed
it in my mind.
