I'm Sick!

I find it fairly easy to do things to the glory of God when I'm feeling at the top in my health. This week I've been sick. Wanda looks at me laying on the couch saying, "I'm sick! I'm sssssiiiick!" Her patience is sainthood stuff!

When we are down in health, mental or physical it seems to take greater effort to remain consistent in a non-complaining walk with the Lord. Complaints seem to be easier to say when our health is also at a low.

This brings deeper meaning and impact to those who went to the persecutions of the early church disciples. To stay focused on what is most important even through weaknesses is amazing!

Philippians 2:26 since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.

2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
