How my faith was strengthened in an MRI tube

An exam in a narrow, confining MRI tube can trigger feelings of claustrophobia or even terror. My heart was racing before a scan until I remembered what my sister had shared with me.

God was right there. Searching me. Nothing is hidden from Him. Whatever I have inside, He knows. Every. Single. Thing. No technician will be necessary to evaluate the results. Even if you’ve never had an experience inside an MRI tube, real or imagined, please be encouraged by the truth that God knows your heart. Nothing is hidden from Him.  Robert Wolgemuth is a former president of Thomas Nelson Publishers, the founder of the literary agency Wolgemuth & Associates, and the author of more than 20 books.

As a little boy on a dare offered by a "friend," I started crawling through a long one of these, only to get stuck in the middle with my arms in front of me. Then came the panic. I could not move. This was claustrophobia at its worst. Thankfully a compassionate friend (clearly not the same "friend") had pity on me and pulled me out.
