Human Frailty

This was composed not so much as a sermon, but a message from a young preacher just about bed ridden from his broken leg, and just as his confidence to get about was mounting, a viral strain kept him from the pulpit again. I wrote this from my heart through what the Lord had been revealing to me the past few weeks. I hope it can be a blessing to you, and please consider the sense of physical incompacity at 27 years young and how difficult it can be to accept. God is a gracious, merciful God.

~Matthew

Each day we should thank him for the health we have, and the grace that has sustained us through all. Our spiritual state is directly realitive to our devotion to Christ, His Word, and His altar. No physical impairment, no financial concern, no other inconviences determine where we are with Lord. So we must ask ourselves,are we prepared through our relatioship with Christ to still praise Him when we are physically weak? Will we testify of his goodness and mercy when things don't go our way?
