God Is Already Answering Prayer for Matthew
God is answering prayer for Matthew. I just talked to his grandmother, Beverly, by phone. Delaina, Matthew's mother and Beverly's daughter, slept better last night than the night before so she is doing better. The pediatrician told Delaina this mnrning that Matthew's heart is sounding more normal. Del, Beverly's husband and Delaina's father, will take Marc, Delaina's husband and Mathhew's father, Delaina, and Matthew to Medical City in Dallas from Sulphur Springs to see a pediatric cardiologist about 2:00 P.M. today. We are praying for their safe journey, an accurate diagnosis of Matthew's heart murmur, and God's comfort and courage for all.
I was reminded how much God cares for us when Beverly was expressed her concern for Matthew, Delaina, and Marc. Our loving heavenly Father put that natural motherly love in women because He loves us even more! He uses our mothers and wives to give us much of the tender, loving, and emotional care which we need. (It is amazing, though, that God chose to express the love relationship between Christ and Christians as the love between a husband and wife, according to the apostle Paul. Paul wrote that we as husbands should be the ultimate and extreme example of love in loving our wives, even as Christ loves us and gave His life for us.)
I told Beverly about our long-time Pastor Charles Diffee. After he had heart by-pass surgery about 20 years ago he reported, as in Psalm 57:7, "My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed..." David, the psalmist, continued to say, "I will sing and give praise." (KJV). Beverly said that as her heart is steadfast and fixed on Christ she is comforted and encouraged.
David wrote again, in Psalm 108:1, "O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory." (KJV). An unidentified psalmist wrote in Psalm 112: 6-7 concerning the righteous man--"6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord." (KJV). I have learned that when God says something once it is important. When God says something twice it is very important. When God says something three times, I can "take it to the bank." "There is no god like our God" whom we can always trust for the best in our lives. Hallelujah.
Father, we pray and trust you that not only Matthew's heart murmur will be fixed, but all the rest of us will fix our eyes and our hearts steadfastly on you, our God who heals us, and trust in you to do your will to your glory. "I will sing and give praise, even with my glory." Amen.
