Suffering: part 7 of 10
2nd CORINTHIANS 12:10
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong!
In times of trouble, we find each other . . .
These words from Paul inspired by the Holy Spirit -give us a glemse into Paul's life- he suffered much for the cause of Christ but considered it all joy - he went so far as to say he took pleasure in the trials of life- when was the last time we took pleasure in some trial - as I have admitted time and time again - I am not very patient at times -its not that I don't have patience -since I believe once you are saved you begin to have the attributes of Christ- and one of those attributes is patience! Anyway - I like it when things go my way - when its smooth sailing - I do not like when things seem to go wrong - its hard with the flesh we must live with day in and day out - but we need to remember its not about us -God has a plan and it will come to past - period - we might as well submit to HIM because His way is always the best way -
Today is the Compassion International day of fasting and prayer for those with Cancer - this disease is claiming life after life - even with the good news of a decline in cancer deaths - there are many people I know personally who have either had this disease or currently fight it - just one look at the weekly Livin in Prayer and you will see the needs of those with cancer - I know personally of about 4 people who are cancer survivors - their doctors told them they would not make it this long and yet here they continue on - many outliving the doctors who told them their time was limited - you just never know when GOD is involved - Take some time today to pray for those you know with Cancer - this all falls right in line with suffering -many times it does not make any sense why our loved one or us are suffering from cancer -its difficult to image having this disease - it has to be tough - but GOD is still in the healing business - Pray that one day they can find a cure for cancer- today is set aside as a day of praying and fasting for those with cancer- won't you join the fight today on your knees? God will hear our cries-
The trials of this life will one day be gone - eternaity awaits us-
No matter what you are going through at the moment -God knows about it and God deeply cares about it - HE wants us to know HIM - that is HIS first and greatest goal - and He also wants to be glorified in our lives-
God be with those with cancer -those who seem to be on death row - know that we will be praying for you today -
God bless you
In Christ-
Daniel
A SIDE NOTE:
THE THINGS WE SUFFER BRING US CLOSER TOGETHER AS THE BODY OF CHRIST -
An offshot of the problem is a wonder bond of fellowship with others God forges with us! Lets allow GOD to draw us closer and closer today - join the fight today -pray!
in CHRIST our trials bring unity!
