I received a devotional book last week at my first treatment and left it in my "chemo bag", the bag I bring with me to treatments that has my Snuggie and neck pillow in it.
I ahve been sitting here at my second treatment thinking about Hope. Wondering what to do next.
I pulled out they book and there were the words of encouragement I needed:
You are my beloved child. I chose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with me along paths designated uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with Me, instead of trying to anticipate My plans for you. If you trust that my plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment.
Your hope and your future are rooted in heaven, where eternal ecstasy awaits you. Nothing can rob you of your inheritance of unimaginable riches and well-being. Sometimes I grant you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on. But your main focus should be staying close to Me. I set the pace in keeping with your needs and My purposes.
Ephesians 1:4; Proverbs 16:9; Jeremiah 29:11; Ephesians 1:13-14
The last sentence really sums it up for me. All in God's time.
