I Will Be Still... Know You Are God

It's Sunday. Due to some circumstance, we are home. We won't make it to Church today.

I woke up thinking about my sister and brother-in-law in Singapore. They were in the hospital since Friday. Several tests had been made. They are awaiting for the doctor's diagnosis. Waiting makes us anxious, makes us worry specially when things are uncertain.

I also thought of my best friend who is right now hurting because of marital problem. I never imagined it would happen to her. I thought she does not deserve it.

I said a prayer for them. I wish I could be by my sister's side. I wish I could hug my best friend. But they are far from me. But no matter. God's grace is more than sufficient. He is with them - enabling them, comforting them, strengthening them.

We are Christians. But that doesn't mean that we are immune from problems, pains and sicknesses. What's wonderful about it is that, we don't have to go through these trials alone, by ourselves. We accept them as they come. Most of the time, it is hard from the start. But as we learn to trust God and slowly see His wisdom behind each trial, we endure, we persevere. Because we know, at the end, we will overcome.
