It was Monday morning, and I found myself already weary by the time I got all of my things to the car. I encouraged myself all morning by "thinking on what so ever is lovely", and "this too shall pass", this is "a light and momentary affliction". It worked up until this moment; I am in my drive way both hands on the steering wheel tears begin to stream down my face when I say, "God"?         He quickly replied saying Cherie just put your best foot forward. I busted out laughing and crying at the same time. You know that God has a sense of humor right? God knows exactly where we are all the time. He knows how long it will take to get where He has planned for us to go. It is the good pleasure of the Holy Spirit our mentor, comforter and friend to see to it that we fulfill His plan and purpose for our lives. So I laugh and cry all the way to the office.

When the Lord answered that morning saying "just put your best foot forward" automatically I thought that my best foot forward was the one that was healthy, (non injured).
Today I was reminded while in church as the worship music played on Gods promise "when I am weak, I am made strong". God steps in to be our strength. 2nd Corinthians 12:10. The message simply puts it this way "My strength (God's speaking) comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become".

Revelations .... My best foot forward is my weak foot.

Barn's notes:

There is often real pleasure in affliction, paradoxical as it may appear. Some of the happiest persons I have known are those who have been deeply afflicted; some of the purest joys which I have witnessed have been manifested on a sick-bed, and in the prospect of death. And I have no doubt that Paul, in the midst of all his infirmities and reproaches had a joy above that which all the wealth and honor of the world could give. See here the power of religion. It not only supports, it comforts. It not only enables one to bear suffering with resignation, but it enables him to rejoice. Philosophy blunts the feelings: infidelity leaves people to complain and repine in trial; the pleasures of this world have no power even to support or comfort in times of affliction; but Christianity furnishes positive pleasure in trial, and enables the sufferer to smile through his tears.     In Christ, Be Blessed
