Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.

 

 

When my doctor (whom I didn’t know very well) was trying to rush me into surgery; I balked. When he detected that; he began to get really irritated with my suggestion that maybe I should get a second opinion. That bothered me so much that I canceled the surgery. I’m not suggesting that you do this. I did it because I felt that in my spirit, not because I heard someone say it. I had no history of canceling surgery.

 

I went to the hospital to pull my medical records from the tests the doctor had ordered. They were free. I had never done this before. Never. It was almost as if I was being pushed to do this. I read the record with great interest. In a small tiny paragraph; the radiologist mentioned a rare form of cancer. I don’t like negative reports.I was devastated at first. I read it over and over. I researched it. While I was researching; I was led to put the report on a ledge that was basically out of sight and reach. As a result, I forgot about it for the most part. I learned to roll my cares on God and to trust Him.

 

From start to finish; I began to look for other doctors and other opinions. I moved even closer to God. It was so good; I decided to stay there. I got in a Word church and found out about healing. I began to meditate with healing scriptures. God began to heal me. Six months went by and then I had major surgery. The outcome was a miracle per the doctors. God caused my thoughts in my decision making to be in lock step with His will. I just had to listen and obey. As a result my plans to survive were successful.
