His Grace is Sufficient

Was reminded today of this verse in 2nd Corinthians:

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

I've always been interested in health, at least the last 25 years or so. But more important than health is my relationship with God. I really came under conviction today that if the Lord should never heal me from my afflictions, I need to rest in His grace, and glory in my afflictions. Accepting what is and realizing it may be from God for me to bear this. Well, either way....I'm quite sure I will continue to eat properly, exercise and all that good stuff...but make sure my hope stays centered around Christ and Christ alone. When I eat right, exercise, watch stress, etc....I feel so much better, more energy to do what needs to be done, greater patience with my kids and work situations.

Had a great visit at Exodus Chiropractic today. Those of you that live in the Knoxville area really need to consider these folks. They are caring, Christian people that believe in the power of God and prayer, along with the proper care of our bodies. I have so much hope since going to them. I have seen a lot of positive changes, some yet to be seen, but some things take time. Before going to Exodus, Sundays were the hardest days of the week for me. I think it is because I go, go, go all week and Sundays I'm generally off of work. Well the last few years, many days I couldn't get out of bed on Sunday mornings. Every bone in my body ached and I was mentally exhausted. Well that is a thing of the past since going to Exodus. My energy has increased, clarity of thought, thats a big one for me. When Dr. Barrett did my adjustment today he noted that something was different, I was in better alignment than usual. I don't understand everything about what they do, but I know going in today that I felt better and different than usual and he saw that. They have a precious lady there every day that just walks and prays for the patients and work being done there. Most days one of the Dr.'s prays with me. Okay! Done bragging on them today! : )
