Strength Through Hard Times – Day 7

“Hard times have many ways to find a home. But, as we condition ourselves spiritually we are making our immune system stronger to withstand hard times.” – #ToddCPittman

Yep, I Said It!

…and so did Luke 4:18 (NIV) “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,”

…and Jeremiah 30:17 (NIV) said it too – But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’

“This is the 7th and final exercise day, for now, as we build our spiritual strength to endure hard times. Look, hard times can come in many forms resulting from many circumstances such as a broken-hearted relationship or divorce, health decline due to sickness or disease, financial setbacks, or even legal troubles. A lot of times our difficulties are brought own by our hard heads and poor decisions, but remember this – God’s grace is greater than our sins! Back in the day, east of the Jordan River in the region of Gilead, folks would seek this rare perfume that was used medicinally to cure-all. They called it the Balm of Gilead. Well, today we need to condition our acceptance that Jesus is our Balm of Gilead. Let’s work on strengthening our belief and acceptance that even in the toughest times if we have a strong relationship with Him, He is the one that will help and guide us through our circumstances and into transformation and restoration. He is our Balm of Gilead and the Balm that will make us whole again! So let’s continue to condition ourselves spiritually and develop that relationship with God as we feel led to do!” – #ToddCPittman
