UMBRELLA GOD
“God is
NOT an umbrella just to be opened when it is raining.” While I walked down to the chip screen
building, for my PM route, I thought on these words that BR had quipped at the
end of a discussion about RC, a cancer victim.
This fellow will not be a “cancer survivor”, BUT he is a ‘conqueror”,
yes, “more than a conqueror”!
Just
this week he was told that he was NOT suffering blockage, but rather that his
bowels were eaten up by the cancer. He
thanked the doctors and nurses for all they had tried, but added, “… it’s in
the Lord’s hands now…” he then had them
remove the IV’s and such, and told them that he had a family to go see, a wife
and two kids. Last night he went to a
community prayer vigil for him after the high school volleyball game! He is at peace. I strongly suspect that not only is it as he
stated, “it is in the hands of the Lord”, but even moreso, HE is in the Lord’s
hands, calmly waiting. Jesus has him
covered! (He has been living under the
wings of Jerusalem’s mother hen!)
Yes,
God is not an umbrella, just to be pulled out when it is raining. He is also a parasol for a nice, sunny day,
and a beach umbrella for a vacation – Jesus is a “Traveler’s” coverage for ALL
days. Let’s live “in the shade of the
Almighty”!
