“WHY WAS THIS MAN BORN BLIND? WAS IT BECAUSE OF HIS OWN SINS OR HIS PARENTS SINS? ‘IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF HIS SINS OR HIS PARENTS SINS’, JESUS ANSWERED. ‘ THIS HAPPENED SO THE POWER OF GOD COULD BE SEEN IN HIM. WE MUST QUICKLY CARRY OUT THE TASKS ASSIGNED TO US BY THE ONE WHO SENT US.’ ” JOHN 9:2-4
We all have a role to play in God’s plan. He has chosen us to live in this world, at this time and with an assigned duty. No matter our assignment we are to perform with strength and with trust in our living God. Some of us go through things that others do not. We may ask, WHY ME LORD? The Lord has given us an assignment that we can fulfill. He gives us the tools to work with, the faith to believe, and the trust to conquer, by belief in, and use of his mighty word. I know of a young lady who has ALS and in her fifth year of living this horrendous experience. I have followed her experience through this disease from her very first announcement of her condition. Her attitude has been one of nothing but faith and joy from the very beginning. Even though she is in a wheelchair and can move no part of her body, except her eyes, she lives her life with success and strength. She focuses on the good in her life and has outlived her diagnosis for leaving this world. She has a purpose and is going to fulfill her purpose. If she would have resisted, I am sure the Lord would have found someone else to fulfill her assignment. We should all set back and take a hard look at our experiences in life. There is always someone going through greater hardships than we are. No matter our situation we should continue to praise God for every breath he gives us and live our lives as a testimony to him! Only our God knows what tomorrow will bring! PRAISE THE LORD IN EVERY SITUATION!
