Reading in II Tim. this morning I came across the verse the Lord wanted for me today....
"Thou therefore endure HARDNESS, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." II Tim. 2:3
....Not what I wanted to hear.....but what I NEEDED to hear. :)
For the last week I have felt my health sliding...
And I'm reminded of former days...and it makes me cry to God again with more fervency...
"Hardness" means "to undergo hardship:-be afflicted, endure afflictions (hardness), suffer trouble."
I pray that I shall soon "snap-back", but I need to be willing to endure this HARDNESS again....if the Lord so wills....even if it's just a short while...
One thing it does....Pain and fatigue lifts my soul closer to God, and for that I'm thankful!
Today when everything seems to be falling apart....my health, my finances, my family.....
I need to ENDURE HARDNESS...as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Pray I shall. :)
