God Knows
"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." -- Hebrews 4:13
When your world turns upside down, God is there. Where uncertainly hangs over you, God is there. Where fear fills your soul, God is there. You don't even have to say anything, though He's ready to listen if you do. God knows your heart. He knows what you're going through.
It started as a normal day. Laughter and coffee. Errands and plans. Then, suddenly, a trip to the emergency room and the uncertainty of medical conditions and treatment. We tried to keep up a casual banter. We ignored the fear inside, needing to remain calm for the patient. We were concerned but not panicked. Or so we appeared.
Inside, my heart pleaded with God to do something. I wasn't focused enough to even know what. Just that I needed Him to be in charge of the doctors and tests, of the outcome and days ahead. He heard it all because God knows our hearts. He hears every unspoken word just as clearly as the spoken words. Maybe more so because of the feelings bottled up inside.
I don't know what the days and weeks ahead will bring. It scares me in ways I can't even begin to admit to myself. God knows. He hears. He's right there to steady my step and see me through wherever the path may lead.
