My PC is in the shop, again.
Do I give up and let this stop me from providing a daily devotional?
I do not have the tools available to me that I normally use. I am handicapped by technology. What should I do?
OK, so I won’t be able to copy and paste scripture but I have the Spirit to guide me. Do I have to quote scripture to be spiritual? No, I don’t, I have the Spirit for that.
I should not be worried about my style, content and effeectiveness, not if God is leading me. But I do worry. The desire to be faithful is strong in me. Nothing in me tells me to give up. It says overcome.
OK, so here it is. I have cataracs. I need surgery and I am afraid. I have this fobia about my eyes. I cannot stand someone even pointing to my eyes. So is this effort more about facing my fears or being an overcomer?
I don’t feel like I can do this myself. It would be easier for me if the Lord should send me a healer to cure my disease. But then I would still have the fear.
This feels a little like when I was afraid of being shot in Vietnam. Then I got shot and the fear went away. Sometimes you just have to face your fears on fears terms to see them thru Jesus eyes.
“Fear not for I am with thee.”
Dear brother, I can’t take away your fear, but I can share with you about my cataract surgery. I had both eyes done about 6 months apart. I opted for no anesthetic and was so thankful I did. I wouldn’t trade that experience for all the “tea in China”!! I talked to the doctor all through the surgery, and while he was replacing the lens in my eye, the beautiful colors were awesome!! It was a whole new world and so exciting. I had never had surgery in my life, so this was a whole new experience, but the scripture that my Lord gave me was “what time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee” and I found that “Jesus NEVER FAILS.”!! When it is over, you will wonder why you feared it. My prayers go with you and I urge you to get it done ASAP……there is a whole NEW world waiting for you. The worst part of the whole experience was the eye drops…that was a big bother.
