Devotional for 1/18/13

Pain
 
My mind today is on the thoughts of pain in the human body, whether it be a physical bodily pain or an emotional pain of the heart and mind. Both are just as real as the other.
 
There are many scriptures in the Bible that we as Christians can lean on to comfort ourselves in times of bodily pain or in times of emotional stress and turmoil.We must depend on God’s Word as infallible in that the Lord knows all of our infirmities and can heal all our sicknesses physically or emotionally, if we but look to him by searching his word and seeking his guidance and counsel. It has been said that “Time heals all wounds”, I believe that to be mostly true. It doesn’t mean that we ever forget our wounds and scars in both pretenses...but God has placed in us a way of escape in most cases, as we are but mortal beings.
 
There are different manners of pain that humanity deals with in which there is an antidote (being the Word of God), if we yield to the power of its authenticity, which is every word spoken from the mouth of God.
 
Denoting emotional pain there are various sorts
 
Fear: The scriptures can help us overcome fear and a troubled heart. One antidote is John 14:27 >>> “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (Or) 2nd Timothy 1:7 “God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”.

 
Trust: Challenge yourself with trusting in the Lord. Antidote: Proverbs 3:5-6 >>> “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”.
 
Depression: Throughout our lives we will encounter times of depression, discouragement and frustration. These are times of sorrow, however, God can turn these times around. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:5
 
In the book of Romans 8:28 (which is one of my favorite scriptures), the Bible says “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” 
 
My final analogy is this: Although we may endure pain for a season, we must accept that God will heal us according to his purpose. Pray about all things, believe for all things and God shall bring it to pass.

    This is so true, Glenna. Sometimes we let such challenges drag us down. We always must remember to go to the Source of all wellbeing and health for a healing touch.

    God bless
