The Lord Comforts Me

If we listen, the Lord will speak to us. He recently reminded me that. Let me share my story.

I went to the doctor recently due to a health concern. At my appointment, the doctor stated that he believed my condition was not serious. He wanted me to take on more test but was still confident that I would be fine. Just take some pills and I would be good as new (almost). Later that day, he called me back with the test results. I missed the call so he left the message. He sounded rather grave when he asked me to call him back. I was not able to reach him before he left for the night.

That night I was concerned about my health. Why did the doctor call me back? Was it really something far more serious? As I was worrying, I read this passage in the Bible.

He [God] has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us. (2 Cor 1:10)
In this passage, Paul was talking about troubles he experienced, but I knew that God was using this line to speak to me. I immediately felt comforted. For He has delivered me from health issues before, and I felt like He was telling me not to worry about this.

As it turns out, the doctor just had a few questions for me. Once I answered them, he repeated his initial prognosis. I was worrying for nothing, but the Lord took those worries from me.
