God's Tug

More important than gold   March 22, 2011

 ¹⁰ Choose my instruction rather than silver and knowledge rather than pure gold.       Proverbs 8:10 (New Living Translation)

Well, I opened my big mouth the other day about God’s love being more important

than material possessions and today I lost the gold cross that my mother gave me. To say that I was upset was putting it mildly. It’s not the fact that I lost it, per se, but the fact that people are not honest enough to return something they’ve found that’s obviously someone else’s. But, after searching for the cross, I couldn’t find it. Then, I let out a few very un-Christian-like words (God forgive me) and left a message with the secretary in radiology about it. I’ll call her tomorrow to see if she is allowed to get in touch with the patients who were in the x-ray room after I was. If not, I’ll just accept the loss of my gold cross. Ok, so maybe God wasn’t doing this to teach me a lesson, but it was because of my own carelessness – or the fact that with this condition I’ve had for the last 6 months, my mind isn’t working like it usually is. All I know is that my neck feels a bit “naked,” without my cross that’s been on it for many years, but my God, my Saviour Jesus still loves me the same. I searched for just the right verse for tonight’s God’s Tug and the verse from Proverbs appeared to be it. One good thing from being at the medical center for several hours is that I will be getting a referral for a neurologist for a second opinion.
