I have been through more pain recently. I was at a football game and I missed a step in the stands and fell on my back. This happened about 12 days ago. Then, I had a shot in each knee. So, for the last two weeks I have been in a great deal of pain.
On Instagram, a friend sent this message, "God doesn't give the hardest battles to his toughest soldiers, he creates the toughest soldiers through life's hardest battles." I do not know about you, but this quote opened my eyes to what God was doing with me! I could write several pages of all my injuries, illnesses, and pain that I have gone though and continue to go though.
In the Bible, Joshua 1:9, God commands, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." You may be thinking, "I wonder why David put these two sayings together?"
Well, because in this world right now, Christians face ridicule and hatred for our faith in Jesus Christ. Not only that, but what the Bible tells us what is Godly behavior and what is worldly behavior. There is so much anti-christian attitudes all over the world!
We are in the "the hardest battles" of our lives. Yet, God told Joshua, "Be strong and courageous." Why? Because HE is always with us wherever we go! In illness, pain, persecution, prison, or in good times, in health, wealth and happiness...God is with us!
Keep seeking the LORD and you will find HIM!
I am HIS, David Walter Wiseman
