Strong or Weak?

The other day I had to "hit the sack" late in the afternoon when the flu, or something, hit me. As I pulled the comforter up over my head to try to get warm I was thinking about how I was feeling fine and normal and then all of a sudden- wham! I felt tired and sore and achy and all I wanted to do was just to get into bed.

I believe that everything that happens- everything- has a spiritual lesson. For me, this was a picture of what I am capable of in and of myself- not much. Without the gift of health I can do nothing. God sustains me each and every day and if he were to withdraw his grace there wouldn't be a lot left.
