“SCRATCH” ONE SCRATCH

It was a minor skin abrasion. Just a scratch.
My knee must have hit the dash of the car when we had the wreck a few days ago. (If you haven’t heard, Jean and I were in a highway collision that totaled both cars and should have killed us. Jean and I and the couple in the other car are fine.)
A week later that minor abrasion turned into a fiery red infection running from my knee down my shin—scary for diabetics. Diabetes can keep wounds from healing which can lead to amputation.
We all prayed. Some of you knew about it and prayed.
Children’s Cup Swaziland Medical Director Teresa Rehmeyer gave me some topical and oral antibiotics.
Today is the third day that the infection has abated and is going away—marvelously quick for one with diabetes!
I have never viewed prayer and medicine as adversaries and I surely know God is the author of healing by whatever means.
This wonderful healing started at Calvary—His bleeding wounds healed mine.
What a merciful, awesome God we serve!
