"but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
I was going to talk about why I am eating an ice cream cone at 5 'o clock in the morning, but The Lord said "Obama Care." I don't know that much about Obama Care, but man that Nestle's Vanilla Caramel Drumstick sure was mmm mmm good!
I do my best to stay out of politics because The Good Lord says, "whatever is good, whatever is noble, whatever is praiseworthy, think on such things." Politicians make me angry so I don't think about them. However, as a chronic sick, middle class, middle aged woman, I can't get away from this one.
This is what I do know about "Obama Care" as it pertains to me personally. My husband says our insurance will go from $500 a month to $1000. Our annual deductible will go from $2500 to $5000. Right now we have a 70/30 split which means our insurance pays 70% of the medical bills and we pay 30%, That will change to 50/50 and this all begins the first of next month!
My husband says "no" to that kind of insurance pricing and there, I have suddenly been sucked into the devils schemes! Fear is Satan's biggest weapon against us and the evidence is clear that the end times is closer than most of us realize.
My hope has been that this Bill will get repealed but clearly it doesn't seem to be going in that direction. Every time, which is all the time if the TV is on, the subject of Obama Care is brought up, my blood starts to boil and I begin to think about things like "what if the doctors figure out whats wrong with me and we wont be able to afford the treatment... What if we can't afford the testing that could lead to a diagnosis and that leads to death...or worse, what if I can't afford my medications and I just have to live in a sick and miserable body the rest of my life?"
Then that "still small voice" inside me, aka The Holy Spirit, says, "what about Me?" Oh yeah, I belong to God!! What great news!!! I don't live by the worlds standards because I am a member of The Kingdom of God!! Hallelujiah!! You see, The Lord doesn't leave it up to the President to take care of His own, God Himself takes care of His own people, because He is GOOD like that!!
What does God say about these kinds of situations? To find out all you have to do is look up the word "fear" in the concordance of your Bibles if you have one. If you don't you can go to
http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/ and plug in the word fear. There is power in God's Word, and if you don't know, you can find God's Word in the Bible. The Truth you will find there can extinquish the firey darts of fear that devil WILL throw at you, and you can find peace instead. Praise The Lord!!
When you start feeling scared TURN OFF THE TV and read and reread the verses that tell you how God IS and WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR NEEDS. Now that is GREAT NEWS!!!
Deuteronomy 31:8
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Oh and the reason for the ice cream cone this morning, it was pure unadulterated selfishness, cause if I had left it in the fridge, the kids would eat it! I am a work in progress after all...
