In Shakespeare's "Macbeth" the warning was "Beware the ides of March." Today, the 15th, is that annual date. But today, there really is no reason to beware of this, or any other, day. But the famous writer did make a good point. When I am in the midst of some physical battle like back spasms or chemo side effects, it is difficult not to beware of every day. I pray. I know that God hears. I am assured that all is well through Him. Yet, when I am in the fire, it is hard to see the forest for the trees, as someone once said.
Yet today God has given me a break from the pain. My back spasms are almost non-existent today. It has been almost two weeks since chemo, so that part of my physical life is much better. It seems that I can see God's hand more clearly. So is it me, or is it Him?
Here is my good news for today. No matter how I feel, or what I can or cannot see, God is here with me. He loves me in spite of me. I just need to remember that this entire thing is not about me.
It's all about Him! And I sure am glad. Try thinking about that during this season of Lent.
