Two doctors now on different occasions one being this morning have come in to talk to Kelly and I about Phoebe and her condition, and they both basically say the say the same thing, “We don’t know how she is alive”.
That phrase is really ringing in my ears this morning. I have had people tell me “You are so strong” and for me that translates into ” Why aren’t you falling apart? Why aren’t you angry at God? How are you still standing?
In the same way that Phoebe shouldn’t be alive, I shouldn’t be at peace. In the same way that Phoebe is alive, I am at peace. It’s by His hand. It’s a miracle, and we are proof that the miraculous is something that God is still doing. I have been preaching through Philippians on Sunday mornings ( I’m eager to be back preaching again).
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:7 NIV
This peace is just part of the freedom that lies in a life submitted to God. I want the world to know that Jesus saves! Salvation is not just about the what happens at death it’s about now and living a life God intends for you.
The eternal has already started!
If you take anything from our loss take that there is more to be had from God than a social club church experience, he intends for you to stand by his power and strength and be a light in a dark and chaotic world.
What are you going to do with what you have seen?
