Applying God’s Word
When Louise and I relocated, we asked God to direct us to faith-filled doctors.
The door of the examination room opened and a young doctor introduced himself. While looking over my medical history, he asked, “How are you feeling?” I said, “very well. Thank you.” I asked, “Are you a man of faith.” He smiled, looked over at me and said, “Yes. Christian”.
As he examined me, we exchanged life stories.” At the end of my visit, we held hands and prayed with one another. There were tears and then we hugged goodbye as though we had been friends forever.
The Christian author, Matthew Kelly, would describe this encounter as a “Holy Moment”. It was, for sure. It was also an answer to prayer.
