last sunday during ulm, shirls talked about Hillsongs' latest album - This is our God. Michael Gugliemucci was mentioned because he led one of the songs in the album - Healer.
i was very captivated by his story, by his faith.
it challenges my own faith to truly believe and proclaim God's power even when i do not see things happen yet.
for Michael, two years of battling with cancer can be be a tough- going journey. especially, i could imagine countless of defeated thoughts of doubts flew past his mind in these two years.
it takes a perservering Michael to cling onto the faith that he had two years ago. it requires our faith to be tested under trials and proven strong.
Michael do not know when will he be healed. this calls for our faith to be persistent - keep on believing, keep on asking.
why do we keep believing?
simply because.......
God has everything in control.
1 Corinthians 10:13, No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
God knows what's best for us.
Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
God is with us.
Matt 28:20, And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age
