One of Those Days

"Crazy" Glassco Family, Christmas 2013

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead...In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ!" (1 Peter 1:3,6-7)

        Yesterday was one of those days. We've all had them - a crazy day when not one or two, but everything seems to go a-rye. My day began with our furnace breaking down. Next, we traveled to the hospital for the team meeting with my doctors to map out the cancer treatment plan. (I had envisioned gathering around a conference table talking. AU CONTRAIRE! Instead, the doctors gathered around half-naked me to see what they could see.) And then at the end of our taxing day, my sweet husband who had flown home all night from California with no sleep and a history of blood clots, his leg began to swell.

        Are you in a season of those days - storm-tossed and not comforted? Let us take valuable instruction from Hebrews 3:1 - "Holy brethren (and "sisteren") partakers of a heavenly calling, [be still and] consider Jesus!" 
         Dr. David Jeremiah recently wrote: "Whatever's going on in your life, you have a Great High Priest seated on the throne of majesty at the right hand of God, making intercession for you. He sympathizes with your infirmities, identifies with your temptations, prays over your distresses, and dispenses grace and mercy in time of need. He brings your cares to the attention of the Father, and sends His Holy Spirit to support your fainting heart. He gives His Word, keeps His promises, strengthens His children, and readies heaven for our use!"

Ahhhhhhh, the peace of God...thank You, Lord Jesus!!!
