It's day 4. Here we go. Praying for patience today. I can't rush the healing.
2Corinthians 9-10
"My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am STRONG.
I am weak and the Lord is the all powerful. I know He can heal me. I can't say that I delight in hardships, weaknesses, insults, persecution and in difficulties. I would rather have a life without them. But without those times - I wouldn't have a chance to call out to God. There probably wouldn't be a reason. He wouldn't help me grow in faith without any challenges.
James 4:6-10
God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
When we are tested - God is involved in our suffering. Our affliction is part of God's eternal purpose. Nothing goes unnoticed nor unrewarded. Like Job, I must go through whatever He has planned for me without cursing Him. He will help me through it. He will comfort me.
Job 2:10
Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?
I love reading your posts Krys! You have no idea how they encourage me. Check out this awesome verse. "though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered." (Hebrews 5:8) Jesus Himself learned obedience by the things which He suffered. How much more you and I? Keep the faith! We are praying for you.
