Remember His Faithfulness
I’ve been dealing with a major lower back spasm the past 24 hours. I dealt with this the first part of the week, but I thought it went away. Then, yesterday evening it came back upon me with a vengeance. The muscles underneath my surgical area just won’t calm down. I’ve taken 4 muscle relaxers today alone trying to put this fire out.
It could be that I’m way overdue for another pain shot. This particular area has really not bothered me in quite some time. Now, it’s got me in such vice grips that I can’t really find any comfortable position. I’ve not been able to sleep, lay down or sit down. I’ve been on heat or ice around the clock. I’ve probably spent 8 hours in the tub since last night.
Right now, I’ve got a little bit of the edge off. My youngest son has lifted me up in prayer once again. I’m just believing God will give me some much needed healing rest. I’ve been here many times in the past, but this time I can’t ignore the constant pain.
Fortunately, I can’t think of one Sunday in the past God didn’t have me ready to preach. Sometimes you have to remember God’s past faithfulness in order to trust God’s faithfulness today.
I want you to know that God will carry you through your pain. Just keep putting your little hand in God’s big hand. Just keep doing all you can while resting everything fully in God’s hands. I can’t wait to see what God is gonna do next for each of us.
“Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.” (Proverbs 3:6)(GNT)
