from 1 chronicles 28, matt and i read the words david wrote to his son solomon. i underlined them in my Bible. they give me an unspeakable hope. its what i needed. vs 10 says, consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it. then in verse 20 he continues, be strong and of good courage, and do it. do not fear nor be dismayed, for the lord God - MY GOD - will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord. He has chosen us for a task. for me, its a task that at times seems to be too much, im ill equipped for this. im walking a road thats too long, too bumpy, too hard and i cant see around the bend. quite frankly, at times i feel i just cant do it and i dont wanna do it. i wonder if solomon had similar thoughts? i read here twice it says, do it - its that simple. Hes charged me with this. i can take comfort and draw strength knowing Hes with me. when i cant take that next breath, or take that next step, or make that next call or go to that next appointment, or speak out to someone starting out with cancer because it brings up feelings id rather not relive, (how selfish right?!) but were told to keep going, be strong, have courage, dont fear because HE is with me and will be until i have finished this. and friends, for you it might not be cancer, it can be anything, but when we ignore that call or that task, we miss out on the blessings He has for us. as hard and gut-wrenching as this season has been, ive never experienced His goodness and a peace i cant explain as i have in this last year. and until Hes done, we keep on. so today, im lacing up my shoes and following the instruction of 1 chronicles (and nike) and i will, just do it. #oneyearbible #cancerschmancer
