Dust

Lately the Lord has been showing me many scriptures that deal with death.  I began to wonder if He was preparing me for what is yet to be as a result of this constant headache... my transition from living on earth to living eternally with Him in Heaven.  I had forgotten that He had already told me that I would not die but that He would be glorified in my living with the results of this headache.  I was really wondering what He has in store for me in my health, so I just told Him what I was wondering (as if He didn’t already know...) and laid my heart before Him.  He responded and this is what He said.

“He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.”  Psalm 103:14

“And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.”  Psalm 139:16

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:7

“When He heard this, Jesus said, ‘This sickness will not end in death.  No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.’”  John 11:4

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”  Genesis 50:20

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”  Isaiah 41:10

“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.”  Hebrews 10:36

No, God did not have to tell me these things, but He knows I am dust (sooooo human) and gave me His peace that passes all understanding to face whatever He has for me in my health.  He will take care of me in it all.  Humbly I thank You, Lord, for coming to earth, dying on the cross, being resurrected to give life eternal and saving me.  Please keep my eyes on You.  I again surrender all to You.  May Your will be done in and through me.  It is my heart’s desire to follow wherever You lead me.
