Abide With Me by Matt Redmond

Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV — And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.‬‬

God our Father meets all our needs. After 29 days of waiting, I am thankful to report that my pap smear came back good. I am finally free from the Human Papillomavirus and the pre-cancer cervical cells. God is so good!

I am also happy to report that my sourdough bread-making is off to a great start! 

You can read about my journey with the Human Papillomavirus and cervical pre-cancer from previous posts in chronological order.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.

Who did I share my troubles with? After almost four weeks with no results, I turned to some very dear friends for comfort and prayer. God gives us Godly friends to help us soar when we are weary. We read in ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ ‭NIV — but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.‬‬

God has also given me a husband who I can lean on and who has been on this journey with me. I am blessed to have a waiting room companion. My husband reminded me over and over that the doctor expected good results. God gave me hope when I learned that the laboratory was behind on reporting. Meanwhile, I followed through with obtaining a sourdough starter from a friend so that I could be reminded of God’s daily bread. 

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for giving me Godly family and friends who I can turn to for comfort and prayer. Thank You for a very active sourdough starter. I ask that You bless my family and friends for being faithful. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

While at the Winter Jam concert, I visited Katy Nichole’s merchandise table. I bought two bracelets. One that reads, “Jesus changed my life” and the other, “Even though I can’t, my God can.” My favorite promise has always been Philippians 4:13. It isn’t often that I read the surrounding verses. It is hard to always be content in present circumstances. This verse helps me to keep going no matter my circumstances. Who will you turn to today? How will you keep going?

From Christine Caine: “Keep going. Sometimes we keep going by waiting. Sometimes we keep going by pausing. Sometimes we keep going by stopping. Sometimes we keep going by crawling. Sometimes we keep going by walking. Sometimes we keep going by running. Just keep going.”

Let’s pray. Dear God, I know You’re a God that can do many things. You comfort, You heal, and You love me unconditionally. Thank You for changing my life for my good and Your glory. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Give us today our daily bread.

Sunday I encouraged you to worship with Thank You by Katy Nichole. Take a moment to thank God through her lyrics, “Thank You for Your goodness. Thank You for Your kindness. Thank You for all the things You do, Jesus, thank You. Thank You for the blessings. Thank You for a million little things. Thank You for the ways that You come through, Jesus, thank You.”

I was recently blessed to see and hear Katy Nichole sing at the 2024 Winter Jam concert. I found myself crying as I sang along. Back on February 1st, I had my one-year exam following my hysterectomy for the Human Papillomavirus and cervical pre-cancer. The doctor was confident that my pap smear test would come back good and I would finally be done with this four-and-a-half-year journey. At the time of the concert, it had been three weeks with no results. As worry started to sink in, I thanked Him for all the ways He had come through for me over the years.

Are you in a waiting season? Are you focusing on the wait or all the million little things God does for you in the waiting? I decided that while I waited, I would look into what I needed to start making sourdough bread. I figured watching the dough rise would take my mind off the wait. I also wanted it to be a symbol every week to thank God for His daily bread. 

Let’s pray. Dear God, give us this day, our daily bread. Thank You for Your son Jesus that walked this world so that I am not alone through the trials of life. Help me to focus on You and not the wait. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
