Last week Naomi and I spent a few days at the Meijer Heart Center. Wonderful place to visit and even stay. Except we didn't want to be there.
Naomi had a stent placement again after flagging on the nuclear stress test. She is now home recuperating. With a week off we hope that she will be back to full strength.
Too bad stent placements can't change the human condition of sin. Of course, if we can understand how the working of the Holy Spirit happens in the person's life we can use the heart cath as an anology. (But I will save this for another blog.)
What impresses me is the technology. And what impresses me more is the peace that we can have by the Holy Spirit. We have a wonderful Sikh doctor who is tremendously gifted. And yet our confidence lies not in the steadiness of his hands or concentration of his mind, but in the healing touch of God.
Isaiah wrote of Jesus in his 53rd chapter: "By his stripes we are healed." It is a verse that we cling to knowing that Jesus endured the torture of the cross for our sakes so that we might be saved, delivered and healed.
Last week probably is not the last visit for us. Of course, God can deliver her completely from heart disease. But until then, our hearts will go on singing and living for Christ.
