Peace of God is a wonderful thing. I have studied and spoken of its value to all who pursue after the Prince of Peace. Scripture teaches us that God gives us a peace that passes understanding. Tuesday, July 17, 2012 was a day of God's supernatural endowment of peace. My wife went into major surgery for her heart after years of fighting the ailment with medicines. She had changed medicine on three occasions and now her heart was not better. Factually the medicine was not intended to heal the heart, only slow it down to thwart the Atrial Fibrillation which seemed to be on the increase not the decrease. So the day came for the procedure both external and internal that will sever the pathways of these errant signals and cease her heart of being out of time with itself. We had friends who know how to pray. They prayed. We both faced the departure in the pre-op room with a peace that "truly defies understanding." Not one bit of anxiety coursed through my body or emotions. My wife and I were talking today and she said the same thing. She was perfectly at peace. Two weeks ago we both had some anxieties about the whole procedure and outcomes as well as what if? Tuesday I spent five hours in the waiting area without anxiety and in perfect peace, nothing doubting as to the outcome. We are not disappointed. Yes we have several weeks of post-op recovery with the wonderful outlook of dispensing with the expensive medicines to control her heart. We both look forward to the peace of God to guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.
Thank you for praying
