My first radiation treatment showed That God is Awesome

My first radiation treatment showed that God is awesome. That probably sounds weird. Maybe even wrong? I’m getting radiation for prostate cancer. And during my first treatment, while I’m inside the Tomograph machine getting zapped by dangerous radiation, I thought about how awesome God is.

I have prostate cancer.

Cancer that surgery didn’t completely remove.

Cancer that God didn’t prevent or even guide the surgeon to remove all of it. Not to mention, that God didn’t miraculously cure me.

Cancer that was aggressive enough to quickly move me from active surveillance to treatment. Twice. After initial the diagnosis and after surgery.

And now in I’m in a large donut-shaped thing like the adjacent image.

And I’m thinking that God is awesome?

Conclusion – My first radiation treatment showed That God is Awesome

Yes, my first radiation treatment showed that God is awesome. But then, so did every step along the journey before that treatment. And even though I don’t know what’s coming next, I know that every step in the journey that will follow, will also show that God is awesome.

Here’s a paraphrase of something David wrote in Psalm 8:  I Can’t Believe God Cares About Me.

Psalm 8

…
Ps 8:3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,

Ps 8:4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?

Ps 8:5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.

…

That’s pretty awesome too.
