U Matters - 23 Jul 2015

by Greg Anderson on July 23, 2015

This week I joined Holly in the US. My mother had hip-replacement surgery and we are in a rota with my two brothers and sister to help provide care for her as she recovers. Last Sunday, a top rehabilitation physician from NYC was worshiping with us. I couldn't resist asking her for advice on how to help my mom. She said, "Tell her how fortunate she is to have a hip replacement at 82."

How fortunate we are to be able to live and even thrive in the world God has given us. No matter what our situation is, we have a God who loves us, knows us, and watches over us. As our Lord says through the Psalmist: "Be still and know that I am God."
