I love it when something comes along on Sabbath Day and it suddenly makes more sense than ever before. There were two things that struck me yesterday, both about my dismal health.
Warriors do not pray for lighter burdens, they build stronger backs. How true this is! When I am feeling burdened by my constant sickness it helps to remember that I always have enough strength to deal with it. Margin gets tight sometimes, but that’s okay.
Do not run faster than you have strength. I admit that in the past I have used this saying to justify not running, not walking, not even crawling. Just plain ole laziness. It never means that instead of running you lie upon the couch and criticize everyone else. Do not run faster than you have strength means to push that boundary always, to always give it your every effort, for the grace of Jesus Christ will always cover the rest. What a comforting thought.
