Dealing with Suffering Part 2

When you are sick or suffering what is the hardest part for you?

For me it's loneliness . I am a people person and like to be around people all the time. But when I am sick I don't get out much and I don't have many vistors. Each person is diffrent in that. Some people don't want to see anyone and others like to have people come and visit them. So if your a well person, call your friend who is struggling and see if they want visitors. Another thing I struggle with is wondering if this sickness is ever going to end. I have been sick now for pretty much two months. It is hard to all ways have a good attitude. Sometimes I throw my fist up to heaven and yell at God. That does not all ways work out well for me, but I think God understands.

 So, we all struggle when we are sick or we are suffering. We can rest in that fact that God is in control. We, you and me are going to be loneliness, get depressed, feel no one care, and the list could go on. But, we need to hold on to the fact that God is God and He is allowing this to happen for a reason. Sometimes you find out the reason for fast, but sometimes you find out years later, and sometimes we might not know until we get to heaven.

 Look at Job in the Bible. He was a pretty stand up guy! The Bible gives us a glimpse of how things work in heaven. Satan came to God, and God brought up Job. Satan had to ask permission to do anything to Job. WOW! So God let Satan do his thing, yet Job stayed faithful to the Lord. Job lost everything. If you have not read the book of Job, it's a long book but good! Job had some friends. If you ever have suffered for a long period of time you probably had friends like these. People saying things like, your sick because you have sin in your life. Yes God sometimes gets our attention that way. But most of the time we are suffering or sick because we just are. Like I said in my last post, it might be to show others that even in low times a person can still hold on to Jesus. Over the years I have heard it all. I have been told I don't have enough faith. With all the diabetic experts out there I have been told I eat bad, though how do they really know. 

So, have peace that God knows what is going on and He is in control. Seek Him when you are sick and suffering. Don't listen to lies that others tell you. They might be trying to help, but it sure can be discouraging!

 Was going to try and finish this little series I got going today, but not feeling to good. So there will be a part three. Keep walking.....
