I have known several mighty women of God who have
battled cancer. Some won their battle this side of heaven and others won their
battle by seeing our Savior face to face. One
precious sister was a pastor's wife that I was blessed to minister with. I was a witness as she fought in the strength
of Christ. I was honored to sit by her hospital bed and lift her up to our
Lord. She won her three year battle by
victoriously entering the presence of her Savior. She lived boldly for her God
and her walk of faith taught me so much. I prayed that if I ever had to battle
cancer that I would be the testimony of God that she was.
I should have been more careful what I prayed for
because God must have decided to see if I meant that. Although, He chose to
allow a different "cancer" into my life. Not a cancer of the physical
body, but a "cancer" that has shaken me to the core. Being shaken makes it hard to walk and especially hard to in walk in faith. But, God gave me an unshakable
promise that, this "sickness" will not end in death (John 11:4). And I
praise Him for this promise. But as this
walk of faith continues and prayers are not always answered the way I want, I have
to cling to His unshakable promise and truth.One way to cling to God’s promises is to rehearse His truth. Actually, say the truth of His Word out loud. Well, I cannot really type them out loud, but I will type them with passion.
