We are not stuck
I have just finished 10 rounds of radiation on the side of my left neck. It has been very painful. Not only that, my small intestine is inflamed causing sharp pains in my abdomen. I’ve been thrashing in pain in the night hours, wishing the pain would cease.
In the hours of your suffering, God is there to see you through your valley. It will not last forever my friend.
A trial and testing time becomes a proving ground that strengthens our faith in the Lord. Even when we go into the fire such as those three Hebrew lads, Jesus was in the midst with them. Those three lads walked out of the fire unsinged, not a smell of smoke on them or their clothes; no soot to be found on them. They have come through the fire by the grace of Jesus Christ.
The same can be said for us! When we go through our own trials, temptations, pain and suffering, Jesus is in the midst! He gives us the strength to carry on and we walk out of our trial victorious!
Give Him the glory and praise, It always amazes me that when we turn away from our misery and focus on the Lord how perspective comes back into focus. How wonderful it is when we are able to give our cares, our pain, our anxieties and temptations to Him we will find rest for our souls.
Because He will take care of us.
”Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30 NIV
