Or, “Here we go again…” I’m into my second health issue of the year. After nearly two months of intermittent pain with my prostate, I felt good as of late March. Then, May 2, the shoulder acts up. With difficulty, we’ve made it to Grand Cayman Island, where our daughter and family live, teaching music in an international school. We’re here for granddaughter Shirah’s high school graduation. Not a good time for me to be incapacitated…
But read the Psalms! David was always going from one calamity to another. And often, all he could do was wait for God’s deliverance.
Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved…
My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.(Psalm 62.1, 2, 5 – 7, NKJV)
And David’s counsel is simple:
Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah (Psalm 62.8, NKJV)
God is our refuge. Therefore, trust and pray.
Sometimes, that’s all we can do.
Brother Bob, you can always find hope in the trials of suffering. I hope that I can grow up to be like you someday. These physical bodies are only warrantied for 70 or perhaps 80 years.
Your willingness to persevere through with an aging body is inspiring. The Lord is your keeper, sustainer through each circumstance. He can be trusted to be with us!
THANKS BE TO GOD, Shalom!
Amen!! So sorry it’s still bothering you so much!! Praying again now!
