From the human perspective, circumstances are posing frustration, and timing seems anything but opportune. My wrist pain is spreading into new territories and beginning to noticeably affect my playing abilities. Tomorrow I am to perform with a vocalist for her senior recital, and I have multiple responsibilities with other studio and area performances coming up shortly. The increasingly necessary doctor's visit fits nowhere in my life right now! Neither does rest.
But from God's perspective, I can only imagine things look quite different. While His thoughts are not my own, He has provided His Word as insight into His character and work. As a result, I have the assurance that the multiple weaknesses and seeming hindrances in my life right now are working toward a great end. And I am not left without the strength I need for today. My hope remains steadfast.
"His compassions fail not. They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion,'
says my soul, 'Therefore I hope in Him!'"
Lam. 3:22-4
I am eager to witness how the Lord will prove Himself strong in my weakness. It is a humbling experience to be weak. But the result has far greater and lasting results. Please pray for me, not so much for wrist healing, but rather for my growth in dependence and greater reflection of Christ. Whether He chooses to answer through healing or through a better way, I want to keep His perspective.
