Day 15

Job 13:15a ~ “Because even if He killed me, I’d keep on hoping” (MSG)

Ever since I got married, over twelve years ago, I’ve had one medical issue after another. There isn’t a single day that goes by where I don’t experience some sort of pain in my body. I get migraines. I have arthritis in my lower back, a result of me being born with the base of my spine open. I have bad knees; I get this stabbing pain in my left ear at night. I occasionally have chest pains that take my breath away, and the newly developed shoulder pain that’s piggy backed off of the heart issues. Sure, it’s discouraging. Sometimes I don’t quite understand why it has to be so much pain, and so often. Lord, can I get just a little break? But, you know what? Even if I’m in pain everyday for the rest of my life, I still trust Him. He is more to me than this pain and if He chose to allow it for me, then I will bear it. I want to remind you today that no matter what you may be going through…trust Him. His goodness far exceeds any circumstance you’re currently in. His track record is impeccable; He’s never lost a battle. He sees you and He hasn't forgotten you. Keep trusting Him, keep loving Him, keep serving Him through your situation and watch Him restore you!
