nybody hurting
this morning? You feeling some kind of way? You had a bad night and things
didn't go like you planned and even today is filled with uncertainty and stuff
you wish you didn't have to
face? Do you wish you had better control of your situation? This word is for you.
Isaiah 53:4-5 (NET)face? Do you wish you had better control of your situation? This word is for you.
4 But he lifted up our illnesses, He carried
our pain; even though we thought he was being punished, attacked by God, and
afflicted for something he had done. 5 He was wounded because of our rebellious
deeds, crushed because of our sins; he endured punishment that made us well;
because of his wounds we have been healed.
When you're
feeling some kind of way, think about what Jesus endured so that we can handle
life when we're feeling "some kind of way". We thought God was
punishing Him for his own sins, but He was being wounded and crushed for us.
What he endured heals our wounds. Takes away our pain. Think with me, maybe
just maybe, what you're experiencing right now that you think is killing you,
will be for the healing of someone else when your struggle is complete.
If you're
feeling some kind of way and you're a child of God, just know that God's got a
plan for your suffering if you don't come down or don't jump ship!!! Hang in
there, somebody's gonna be blessed because of your pain. You are not alone.

thought this morning.
Final Word:
1Peter 4:12-13
Dear friends, don't be surprised by the fiery
troubles that are coming in order to test you. Don't feel as though something
strange is happening to you, 13 but be happy as you share Christ's sufferings.
Then you will also be full of joy when he appears again in his glory.
