From Esther Davis (Phil’s sister)
Re-grip…
Pastor Phil is still in the hospital. Elda is still away from him due to this virus going around that makes it impossible for her to be by his side. Physically, at least.
Often, as you’re going through cancer treatments, things can get really tough – physically, mentally and emotionally. There are times when you feel that if one more thing happens, if one more thing goes wrong…then, that’s it…I can’t take any more…I just can’t bear it. This applies to the patient, and the one caring for, praying for, and serving that patient.
The truth is, cancer or not, we all get weary. We all have burdens we must carry. We all have pain we must endure. We all have sorrow we must bear. We all have fear we must surrender. We all have…
But, because of Jesus, we all also have a hope that anchors us. We all have a peace that surpasses our understanding. We all have a joy that can’t be explained. We all have a love that…hopes all things, believes all things, endures all things.
Because of Jesus, we have a confidence that keeps us walking the road He has prepared for us – even when it’s hard.
So…it’s time to re-grip. It’s time to strengthen our knees. It’s time to tell Jesus all of our problems and then allow Jesus to renew us from the inside out. It’s time to walk the road God has so lovingly prepared for us. Though, to our human eyes it may look dark and treacherous. It may feel unknown, insecure and scary. And, we may be afraid. But, He has promised to mark a straight path for us. He has promised to lead us and go with us. And, He always keeps His promises!
SO….
“So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.” Hebrews 12:12-13
