My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. Psalm 73:26
During the time my husband’s health failed him; I became resentful, fearful and oppressed. It was a challenging time in my life to say the very least.
I would go through the motions of daily life. But, I could not savor and enjoy it. One day, during a walk where I would cry out to God in my distress, I felt a gust of wind hit my face with fervor. It was a moment that triggered my heart to break.
And I repented from a bitter heart. Later, God spoke to me; “Then I realized my heart was bitter and I was torn up inside. I was so foolish and ignorant-I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.” Psalm 73:21-25
In this lifetime, I have experienced and have learned that it is good to be near God. It is good to trust him. It is good to call him out on the promises he has made. It is good to subject and submit myself to him whether I understand the why of it or not. It is good to not be afraid. And, it is good to grow from the experience and to tell everyone of the wonderful things he does!
