You know that Philippians 4:4 is one of my favorite scriptures. Paul tells us to Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
It is so comforting to know that no matter what is going on in your world, the Lord is right at your side. I just received the tragic news of a friend whose cancer has spread. My heart is broken for her. After fighting so hard and enduring so much, the treatments have not been successful.
Now she has a long hard battle ahead of her filled with physical and mental suffering. She will have to find a way to say goodbye to her children. She will have so much time on her hands to just remember the good times and the pain of what she will miss.
My only solace is in knowing that she is a Christian and Jesus will carry her and her family through this. We never want to get news like this. However, our God is a Mighty God! I KNOW He will hold her throughout this and also bring something good from it.
Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
We are not able to understand why or know the answers, but we know that God knows. I pray you are spending time in the Word and prayer each day. This the only way you truly know the Lord. This is how you learn to trust in Him and place your life in His hands. We can’t love and trust someone we don’t know.
Rejoice in the Lord! Spending time with Him each day will make you a new creation in Christ. Please give it a try and let me know how your life has been changed.
