My Deductible Has Been Met
Psalms 34 (NIV)"The righteous cry and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:17-18, NAS)
One day I received a doctor's bill for a shocking amount of money. I knew that the bill could not be correct because my deductible for the year had been met. After trying to convince the insurance company that my deductible had indeed been met for the year, I was frustrated. Premiums, deductibles, co-pays . . . whew! After several days of phone calls, paperwork, and rechecking the computer banks, my deductible showed up. Boy was I relieved!
This got me to thinking. Yes, my deductible has truly been met. Christ paid the premium in full on the cross at Calvary. When I obeyed the Gospel, I met my deductible for a lifetime. I am fully insured for eternal salvation in Christ! God has the ultimate insurance plan. I pray you have met your deductible for God's insurance plan. Check out your policy today with the One and Only Insurance Provider, God your Lord. You're in good hands!
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance of eternal life with You. You are the great Provider. In Christ. Amen.
