"Unbelievable"

Yesterday we had a wonderful gift from the Lord. Our grandson, Nicolas (Joseph and Heather's 9 month old) was born with a blocked artery last November. At age 5 days he had to have by-pass surgery with the understanding that they would have to go back periodically to do a balloon procedure in order to clear out scar tissue and allow for growth.
Over the past month tests have indicated it was time for this procedure. So, yesterday they began the procedure, BUT the Doctor stopped because there was no scar tissue where he had seen it during the tests. He said he couldn't believe it. Of course, it is exactly what we had prayed for.
As we shared this great news with people, almost everyone said, "Unbelievable.......no, wait a minute. It's not unbelievable, it's what we asked for from God." It was interesting that most of us responded with "unbelievable." It was the people of faith who quickly realized what they had said and corrected it.
These people know the truth of what Jesus said in Matthew 12:33-37 about the power and importance of our words. It is so important that we listen to what comes out of our mouth because if it is not of the Lord, we need to work on our heart.
