Have you ever had o
ne of those days where the walls seem to be falling in all around you, and pressures and stresses seem to tug at you and you can’t get loose?
The past few weeks have been like that for me.
I will spare you the details, but let’s just say I was at the end of my rope, sick non-stop the whole entire day.
I was sick of being sick. Have you ever felt that way?
Now in the Bible, when weight and pressures came to grab hold, individuals often resorted to one of two things: Fighting against God or running.
- Jacob ran from Esau. (Gen 25:19-24)
- Moses ran to the desert after murdering an Egyptian. (Ex 2:11-25)
- Elijah ran from Jezabel (1 Kings 19:3)
- Jonah ran from his call. (Jonah 1:3)
- The disciples ran when Jesus was arrested. (Mark 14:15)
- Jacob wrestled God. (32:22-32)
- Saul offered burnt offerings in overt disobedience. (1 Sam 13:10-13)
- Satan warred with God and fought for Lordship. (Ezek 28:14-16)
The game plan hasn’t changed any. In reality, aren’t you and I as Missional Women still fighting the same temptations today, to fight against God’s will or flee?
But there is a third option, often we don’t see…
(Continue reading the conclusion of, “When Your Sick of Being Sick”, here.)
Today, won’t you pop on over to Missional Women, discovering the power of praise in response to disappointment and discouragement?
Would love for you to join me and a group of amazing women who are determined to live on mission for the glory of God.
