Where is your God?
Hi world.
It's been about two months since I've received the diagnosis for my health. I've been wanting to discuss this topic, but I didn't know how to address it without coming off as insensitive to how people process shocking news. As the person going through it, I can say that I've seen all types of reactions.
The day I informed my family of the news. Someone (a non-believer) decided to retaliate saying "where is your God now?" I was feeling everything at once. One would think that a person found in my condition would be considered very vulnerable. It wasn't until that moment that I had to stop and shake off the discouragement.There was a fire inside that felt a need to defend God.
I always think back to Job. If you had the slightest knowledge of the book of Job, then you would know that God was there the entire time. When we see Job restored, we see God glorified. Not people's opinions or theories of how and why...we simply and clearly see God.
So, to answer your question. My God is here.
My God comforts me when I'm in pain. My God gives me strength when I feel weak. My God speaks life into me every time I hear and read His word. My God carries me through the toughest times on this journey. My God knows what's best for me, and which path will mold me. God is here.
God is here to glorify himself, and all eyes will see my God.
God never promised that we wouldn't suffer. He never promised that we wouldn't walk through the valley of death.
But...
He does tell us that we can do anything through Him (Phil 4:13). He promises to renew our strength (Isaiah 40:31). He promises to go with us wherever we should go (Joshua 1:9). He promises to comfort me as I pass through the valley of death (Psalm 23:4).
Even when we think He's not present, God is here. I can't do this without Him.
I can only pray that you all see Him as much as I do and be comforted in Him..."my flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."-Psalm 73:26.
Love,
Dayse
