Fantastic Friday #738 - Pain

Pain

28 May they be blotted out of the book of life
and not be listed with the righteous.

29 But as for me, afflicted and in pain—
may your salvation, God, protect me.

30 I will praise God’s name in song
and glorify him with thanksgiving. Psalm 69:28-30


Do you ever find yourself in pain or suffering? There is a lot of pain and suffering that goes on in this world, and a lot of times I think it can be self-inflicted. There are times when others can inflict pain on you, but if you think about it, there aren't that many people who intentionally inflict pain on us. The pain that I see is caused by worry, doubt and fear. Our body begins to break down and we can't sleep, get frustrated or feel like we can't overcome the pain. Here though is a perfect example of how we overcome the affliction and pain we experience. God provides coverage over us and we should remember that we can push back against the pain by utilizing the Holy Spirit for comfort and calling on God to help. We do need to remember to daily thank God for His coverage over us.

Have a great weekend.

Matt

There have been times that I have been in extreme pain. Physical, mental, or spiritual pain that is debilitating. During these times I sit quietly and let the Holy Spirit intercess for me. There is nothing so calming and so powerful as that.
