Fighting The Sickness

As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the LORD is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
  -- 2 Samuel 22:31

As I had another practice session with sickness the past four days, I wondered in amongst the self-pity if there wasn't a way to praise God even in such a condition. Praising God for the sickness while griping about it seemed a bit hypocritical. Evidently the self-pity would have to go since, as we read in our verse for today, His way is perfect. It would seem that self-pity is of itself a sickness to be fought with praise to God. You will understand that I had to recover some from the worst of it before this sort of thought would take root and grow since, well, the wallowing in self-pity can be hard to stop. And as all know, men are such babies when it comes to being sick!

So, from one sickness baby to all the others, Praise God for once again pulling me out of the Slough of Despond. Praise and glory to God our Father, and healer, savior, redeemer, and friend!
