When Things Hurt

This is one of those days for me when I went from feeling pretty well physically to "bottoming out" half way through the day.

There's no need to elaborate on my long-standing physical problems with my lower back, but when things get a bit inflamed there seems to be little to do about it that can really bring relief that lasts. The difficult part is that it affects my ability to engage in conversations, be a contributor in our meetings and really do what's important to me.

I'm grateful, however, that this helps me identify with those of you who suffer in different ways. You cry out to God and you know that unless He gives you grace you're not going to make it through. But, it seems that one way or another He provides that grace even if it's at the last moment.

Paul had the same problem which he described in 2 Corinthians 12. I'm grateful that he gives us some basis upon which to have hope and also believe that there are better days ahead!

Blessings,

Dr. Jay
