Today’s Thought “Survival Tips In Affliction” G. Ward

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

Too much nutmeg in Aunt Mary’s pie and the anticipated macaroni and cheese my cousin Debbie provides tastes so very good, but carries a horrid reverberation. Youth enabled my consumption of every food group presented, whereas discernment in this autumn of my life trusts there will be a varied repercussion to my gluttony. As you pack for the illustrious Thanksgiving meal, be sure to include Rolaids, Imodium A-D, or Tums.

Our approach to life’s troubles can often demand immediate reprieve; comparable to a meal ingested promoting acidity that desires esophageal and abdominal comfort.  It’s more identifiable as “the elephant in the room” because it won’t go away. Daily, we seek to extinguish the agony it presents, but our attempts in futility more leads us in great supplication unto our Redeemer, understanding that nothing is too difficult for HIM. Let not our presumptions of His work include a false hedge prohibiting suffering for our lives, but more invite the blessed assurance of knowing HE walks with me (everywhere)…

Happy Monday!
