The Pain is a good sign!

Happy Tuesday,

I just made it home from getting my daughter from tumbling. Tuesday’s are pretty busy days for her as she cheers and tumbles.

As soon as she sat down in the car, she said, “Mom, I think I pulled something; I said why; she said because my leg hurt.” The hurt that she described was really the un- comfortability of using muscles she hadn’t in a while. I told her, “The pain is good, as it is your body’s way of telling you that the muscles you used today you haven’t used in a while. But the more you keep at it, the more the pain will subside, and the moves will be that much easier.

This is true for us in our Faith. When we are in certain situations, we often think the worse as soon as we feel the pain. I believe that God uses pain and uncertainty to draw us closer to Him, but this also allows us to use our Faith in a way that we never have before.

Are you in pain today? Be Encouraged in knowing that God is present, He sees, and He knows. But maybe, just maybe, He is allowing the trials to show you just how mighty and powerful He is “in every situation.”

“It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119:71‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Pain

For Purpose,

Be Encouraged,
