As I write this, it's 5:37 pm and I've had to spend much of the day in bed. I hurt my back late this morning. I spent about an hour soaking in a hot bath, I'm due to take some more Tylenol, and I really should be using a heating pad.
I've been hoping and praying that I will get better soon. I have that job interview on Monday morning and I can barely walk around. I can always call and reschedule, though I'd rather not if I can avoid it. Pray that I'll be better by then, Lord willing, but if not that I would be able to interview at a later date. Whatever happens, I need to trust God in all this, because He is sovereign in all things.
The Book of Proverbs says to "trust in The Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding". This is not easy for us as human beings to do; we are each inclined to trust ourselves. Proverbs tells us not to do this; rather "do not be wise in your own eyes; fear The Lord and shun evil." I certainly struggle with trusting in God as I know in my mind and heart I ought to. Still, God impresses on my heart to pray when I am struggling to trust Him as I should. I'm growing , slowly but surely.
I need to be reminded constantly that The Lord is good to me, that He has always been good to me. He loves me and has chosen to glorify Himself in being a gracious Savior and a loving Father. I pray that I would trust Him in everything, in every circumstance.
