Romans 8:28 (ESV) "And we know that for those who love
God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to
his purpose"
I’m thinking “bummer” today. The physical therapist says no
more running until we get through our course of therapy for the tendonitis on
the outside edge of my foot. It appears
that even walking irritates it as it turned red and started hurting after only
3 ½ miles today. The muscles in my legs
and ankles aren’t working together properly. Some are weaker than others so
we’re working on the weak ones. I’m impatient and want all to be well now.
Here’s the thing about this scripture.
Sometimes it appears that like my muscles all things are not working
together for our good, even when we do feel we’ve answered God’s call to be in
a true relationship with him. Something in our life seems to be falling apart
and out of control and we ask where God is. In times like this we need to look back to
other similar instances and see that in fact, in the end all things did work
out. It will once again, but on God’s time.
Lord
of Heaven, we know that you want the best for us and will work on our behalf
through the Holy Spirit. Help us to be
patient, prayerful and persevering. We
ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
