Pre-Existing

My son is searching for health insurance. He's trying one of the high risk pools, hoping they will accept him without a huge premium or high deductible. He's only 24 years old, but has a pre-existing condition. Although he's cancer free now, he had a malignant brain tumor removed two years ago. He's been through chemo and radiation and has a scar on the side of his beautiful head that breaks my heart every time I look at it.

He's working part-time, going to school part-time and moving toward his future plans. But the current system locks him out of health insurance, because of this pre-existing monster.

It makes me angry at the injustice and worried for the possible scenarios. But God is sovereign. He knows how to help us.

Sometimes we suffer from pre-existing strongholds. They may have been placed on us by generational sins or by our own follies. But they have a strong hold on us and only the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit can remove them. If we hang on to the sovereignty of God and keep our hope in him alive, he will give us the assurance we need to keep going.

Nothing pre-exists God - and that's the best insurance we can ever have.
