Oh my, what's this... a post?!?!

As you may know, I had knee surgery 2 months ago.  The recovery process has looked much different than I thought it was going to.  I have had such a constant wave of emotions over the past 2 months.  As I am starting to gain mobility and freedom again, I am quickly reminded that I am still recovering and cannot do as much as I thought I would be able to...again, this is frustrating, BUT I know that the Lord has a perfect plan for this season.  I was talking to a dear friend of mine on the phone tonight and she read me today's devotion from the book Jesus Calling.  After I hung up, I saw that another friend posted the same devotion on her Facebook account.  I thought I would share with you, it is such a great reminder of how great the Lord our God is.

"THANK ME for the conditions that are requiring you to be still. Do not spoil these quiet hours by wishing them away, waiting impatiently to be active again. Some of the greatest works in My kingdom have been done from sick beds and prison cells. Instead of resenting the limitations of a weakened body, search for My way in the midst of these very circumstances. Limitations can be liberating when your strongest desire is living close to Me.

Quietness and trust enhance your awareness of My Presence with you. Do not despise these simple ways of serving Me. Although you feel cut off from the activity of the world, your quiet trust makes a powerful statement in spiritual realms. My Strength and Power show themselves most effective in weakness."

“Be still before the LORD,all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.” -ZECHARIAH 2:13

This is what the Sovereign LORD,the Holy One of Israel,says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation,in quietness and trust is your strength,but you would have none of it.” -ISAIAH 30:15

But He said to me,My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully];for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities,that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes,may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me! -2 CORINTHIANS 12:9 AMP
