I’m back home from three more days in the hospital after yet another surgery on my kidney this time to remove stones. They sent me home too soon so I spent 16 hours in a hospital emergency room only to be sent back home at 3:00 am this morning. This coming Friday, I have to return to the VA hospital again for a final procedure on that kidney. The surgeries have all been completely successful according to the surgeons, but there is still some more work for them that needs to be done.
It kind of reminds me of Philippians 1:6, “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His good work until it is finally finished on the day Christ Jesus returns.” I know God is not finished with me yet spiritually or mentally; I just hope and pray that the physical good work my surgeons in three fields began within my body doesn’t take that long to finally finish with healing.
We receive new life at the time we accept Christ as our savior, but He continues that good work. As long as you’re breathing and your heart is pumping, God isn’t done with you yet.
