His Strength Perfected in our Weakness
I’m experiencing altitude sickness for the first time that I can remember. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I have felt so lousy but I’m resting in the fact that God is still here. He strengthens me for what I need to do and gives me rest that I need as well. I don’t know how most people handle sickness but I would not handle it well at all if not for the assurance that God is near. When I can’t do anything else, I can pray; I can rest. I can think on things that are pure, lovely, of good report. I can praise God for His goodness. When I do those things, the sickness doesn’t seem so bad. I pray for a quick recovery so I can better be used by Him but I thank Him that His timing is perfect and that He is strong even when I am weak.
I’m sure there are people reading this who deal with a lot more health issues than I do. I pray that you can rest in God as well. We are here to give Him glory. If He can receive that glory through my health, I’m blessed. If He chooses to receive glory through weakness, we are blessed as well. Pray to know God’s will so you can pray accordingly. Then rest in it. You will find that He is still faithful.
