The short of this blog is the news that Matt received a phone call yesterday, totally out of the blue, from his doctor office saying that his surgery, the one originally scheduled for May that was denied multiple times, has now been approved and is on the calendar for the beginning of December!
You might assume that is why I titled this blog “God is Faithful”… it’s not.
The better part of this entry is talking about WHY God is faithful and how it has nothing to do with this surgery.
He is faithful whether I see it, experience it, or know it. So it is not because it looks as if Matt will be having surgery that we are saying He is faithful. He has proved to us over and over again His faithfulness in the midst of our terrible physical circumstances. We know that all of our prayers (that also means your prayers), our fasting, our being anointed by the elders was not for nothing. He is ALWAYS moving. He is ALWAYS doing something. Most of the time it is in our primary existence of the spiritual world, with it sometimes manifesting in to our physical world. What has been incredible is that because we have chosen to trust Him through the heartache, pain, and agony, He has given us eyes to see Him in ways that haven’t manifested in our physical world, glimpses of His glory that is currently happening. There has been such freedom and breakthrough for our own spiritual formation and for MANY of those around us too!
If we get a phone call tomorrow saying, "well, insurance retracted their approval and no surgery can take place", we STILL say God is faithful. We have been challenged even further to not be swayed by tides of our circumstances in this physical world, but to trust that He is always moving in our lives, He is always drawing us near, He is always furthering His perfect kingdom through us if we let Him.
How do we let Him? By trusting Him NO MATTER WHAT! Jesus is our rock! If we stand on Him then we will not be shaken!

AMEN! This is awesome and I love watching others also live a life based on faith and God's faithfulness to do what He has spoken.

I hope you get to see, hear, small, and taste His faithfulness in a thousand ways! It is powerful to stand where you are and continue to proclaim "faithfulness" …you are brave, courageous…and right.
Thanks for sharing.
I am with you in this faith-walk. God is eternally faithful. He has never once failed us - not ever. He will not fail us now. May blessings abound for you - no matter what the circumstances - and please know that there are others out here that believe just as you do.
