Even When We Are Sick!

 

My health fails; my spirits droop, yet God remains! He is the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. Psalm 73:26




This past two weeks has been muddled with sickness for my husband and myself. We both were diagnosesd with COVID. His situation was such they carried him to the hospital; I was able to remain at home.

Sometimes when you are sick, you just don't feel like doing anything, including reading your Bible. But thank God you can pray. Everything else was put on hold.

But through it all, God's grace did sustain me. I knew God would be with my husband and take care of him. I also knew the Lord would take care of me. Fortunately. I realized it was imperative that I rest and take care of myself.

Sometimes, we are so busy with our lives we forget to take care of ourselves and get the rest our bodies require to continue to operate. We also forget to find the time to eat properly to sustain our healthy bodies.

Then when sickness comes along and upsets our schedules we soon have to shut down and recuperate and take care of ourselves. Building back a healthy body.

I found God's grace was sufficient for me even in this time.



Blessings!

Getting and Giving!

  This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. I think this reflects the broader theme of obedience and devotion plus the rewards of faithfully serving our God. This is what Hezekiah instilled in the people. And it works. Hezekiah was blessed by God and prospered. It worked then, it works now. It is important that we wholeheartedly dedicate ourselves to God and obey His commandments. I read somewhere that sacrificial giving is of God's people. But it goes deeper than giving our money, time and talents. It goes down to the core of our sacrificing the necessary things in our own lives so we can draw close to God. Once the people drew close to God they could serve others better. This means we could too. It isn't all about us getting, it is truly about us giving. Blessings!

A Brief Rest

  God said,  "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 God is so gracious to us. He knows when we need rest. Several weeks ago, I had retina surgery and rested my eye. It is healing and I am doing well. During this time I followed the Lord's words and rested. Looking forward to being back within a few days. God blessings to all!

Change In Life

Philip Doddridge wrote "Blest are the humble souls that wait with sweet submission to His will; harmonious all their passions move, and in the midst of storms are still." Sometimes we get very discouraged with ourselves. We try working on the faults we see and it gets us frustrated when we don't see change. Be patient with yourself as you would with others. Just ask God to help you each day change the things that you can change and trust Him to change the things He can change. Change in life is inevitable, but making sure those changes are from God takes prayer and seeking His will for your life.  When change comes that is not of God, it is wise to again, go to prayer and seek His will in the situation and His guidance. Maya Angelou said, "I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." Blessings!
