"Why not!"

Since early January I have been dealing with a back issue. What I first thought to be a kidney infection has grown into a full-blown, knock-down, say "uncle" fight. The bed seems to give the most relief until I go to get up. It's not a pretty picture. Now I'm not trying to get anyone to feel sorry for me but I do want to share my thoughts this beautiful morning.

When difficulties come our way it is easy to ask God "Why?" It's the natural human response. But what should be the response of the Believer? This morning, as I tried to find some Christian music on the radio, as I adjusted in my chair to find relief from the pain, my mind told me this, "Why not!"

I'm no fool. I know that the Enemy is always looking for ways to get me. He is at war with those working everyday to stay the course of obedience and faithfulness to Jesus. Those shinning their light for the One called Wonderful, Counselor, Prince of Peace. Yes, the enemy is real and seeks to destroy but we know the Real Truth and deliverance is ours. Find strength in knowing that you are on the winning team!

Lord, I seek your peace, healing, and protection today and everyday until You come for your church. Amen.

(Psalms 34:5-8) They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (NKJV)
