Eye surgery

My wife had cataract surgery yesterday at National University of Singapore. This morning we went again to see the doctor. We thank God for excellent medical services in our country. I believe it is God who heals, and He uses doctors and surgeons to to carry out this wonderful ministry of healing.

I had mine done about 14 years ago at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. This was recommended by Dr. Alex Chao the Corps Sergeant Major of Singapore Central Corps. He was promoted to Glory during SARS epidemic. As I sat waiting for my wife, I thanked God for our many friends in the healing ministry. I believe God is the Healer.

At even, ere the sun was set,
The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay;
O, with how many pains they met!
O, with what joy they went away!

Once more 'tis eventide, and we,
Oppressed with various ills, draw near;
What if Thyself we cannot see?
We know that Thou art ever near.

O Savior Christ, our woes dispel;
For some are sick, and some are sad;
And some have never loved Thee well,
And some have lost the love they had.

And some are pressed with worldly care
And some are tried with sinful doubt;
And some such grievous passions tear,
That only Thou canst cast them out.

And none, O Lord, have perfect rest,
For none are wholly free from sin;
And they who fain would serve Thee best
Are conscious most of wrong within.

O Savior Christ, Thou too art man;
Thou has been troubled, tempted, tried;
Thy kind but searching glance can scan
The very wounds that shame would hide.

Thy touch has still its ancient power.
No word from Thee can fruitless fall;
Hear, in this solemn evening hour,
And in Thy mercy heal us all.
