The only statistic that matters

I don’t think I am alone when I tell you that when one is diagnosed with cancer the digestion of statistics and knowledge about the disease is overwhelming. The first thing you want to know is how long am I going to live? What are my chances of survival? Internet searches ensue, data is compiled and opinions are formed. Sounds a bit crazy but that’s what happens. This is a very critical point in the fight against this insidious disease. Do you plan and live your life based on this data? Is it relevant data? Can it be trusted? Am I just one of the 450,000 men under 45 who will be diagnosed this year alone?

The problem with the noble pursuit of knowledge is that it’s all man based. I have a physical and a spiritual battle being waged within my body. What I really need to know is what God says about my chances. This data is not found on the web, there are no fancy charts, national statistics or survival rates when one places their hope in God healing them. I have done everything the doctors have told me to do and now I wait for God to perform His work in me. Please let me make myself abundantly clear; God will heal me by using talented doctors, the best family and friends a man could want and my faith in His ability to do the impossible.

Lesson- Matt 13:15- 15 For this people's heart (our world) has become calloused (fearful); they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn (look to God), and I would heal them.' NIV  

We do not want to become calloused by the trends of this world. Remember; we were created by God, in His image, for His purpose, for His glory and to be His light in the darkness. I HAVE PLACED MY HOPE IN GOD!
