Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes.
I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura for a fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore.
Travelling to Madhipura , I continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going where I was going.I am glad I came because I could replace them while they take their break partially and I could sort of get back to what I used to do.
I am here. now with a host of youngsters to guide them to the best of my capabilities. Mafdhipura is unbelievable .The host of patients who come is unbeleivable. It almost feels like a government hospital in central India with patients pouring in from everywhere. The doctors hardly seem to sleep with emergencies and surgeries happening all the time. Two days into the routine a thought came to my mind.it was a picture of bread being broken to feed the twelve thousand.. Lives were on the line being broken to feed the multitude.
Psalm 114 is one of the psalms I have been praying over .I have had an amazing one month of walk with the Lord.The Lord lead me to it.
When Israel came out of Egypt,
Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Judah became God’s sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled,
the Jordan turned back;
4 the mountains leaped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
you hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool,
the hard rock into springs of water.
Fourth day into the life in Madhipura ,during my early morning prayer, I saw a pair of feet dipped in water ,standing .Spiritually I sensed it was the feet of our Lord Jesus and I had no idea what I had seen or what the Holy Spirit was trying to communicate.
The verses I was lead to was Joshua Chapter 3 where the lord commands Joshua 'Tell the priests who carry the arc of the covenant ,"when you reach the edge of the Jordan's water, go and stand in the water".......When the feet of the priests touch the river, the Jordan parts and the arc of the Lord passes through Jordan and behind the arc the people follow.
It says ,'he Lord himself will dwell over the water and the Lord will pass through Jordan.
Our high priest in the order of melchizedek is Lord Jesus .It is His feet which will stand on the Jordan as the waters part and it is the Lord Himself who will lead His people out of slavery and bondage of Egypt to the promised land.
What an amazing assurance.
In the past ten days or so I have revised and got my ICU skills updated, I have done an abdominal hysterectomy for a lady who delivered outside and came in pouring out blood and would have died I am told otherwise., I have removed a coin from the oesophagus of a child ,
The walk with the Lord is anything but boring.I would not exchange this camaderie with my savior for anything in the world by His grace alone.
May all the glory go to my Living Savior and Lord Jesus who guides me every step of the way always.
I thought I had come to help but I gained more.
