It has not been easy these past weeks in this health challenge I’m facing. And sometimes when you’re all by yourself and you feel debilitated by pain, everything you know and believe in gets questioned and sometimes you just feel like you don’t know a thing. You really become vulnerable when you’re in pain. Not only that but you get selfish and demanding also. Wish it hadn’t been that way.

Hebrews 6 this morning was a breath of fresh air. I just felt God encouraging me to just hang on. To have faith, be patient and full of hope.

¹²We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

¹⁵And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.

¹⁹We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

Faith. Patience. Hope. Big words. Big God.

I thank God it’s not about me, not about what I eat, what I drink, what I juice, what I do, what I think. I thank God it’s all on Him. He’s the Great Physician…although it took a while for me to learn and accept that. Even in healing, I still wanted to help out. Typical me, always trying to think I know it all. Everyday I had to surrender the white robe, stethoscope and prescription pad to Him. He definitely knows more than I do. 

Thank you. Lord for reminding me to believe, to wait patiently and to continue to hope. Help me, God when it’s hard to do that. But thank you for faith examples like Abraham who continued to believe until He received the promise.
