Romans 8:28 (NIV)
28 And we know that in all things God works for the
good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his
purpose.
We might never have had the songs of Fanny Crosby had she
not been afflicted with blindness. George Matheson would never have given the
world his immortal song, “O Love That Will Not Let Me Go,” had it not been for
his passing through the furnace of affliction. The “Hallelujah Chorus” was
written by George Frederick Handel when he was poverty-stricken and suffering
from a paralyzed right side and right arm. Affliction may be for our
edification and Christian development. Sickness is one of the “all things” which
work together for good to them that love God. Don’t resent it. Don’t be
embittered by it.
Thought for today:
Do I engage in “why me?” or trust God and praise “watch and see!”
