PrintOur Journey Through The Valley (19)
5 June, 2013
Capitulate = "cease to resist an opponent or an unwelcome demand, surrender, give in, yield, submit, succumb". Sometime I wonder if we (me in particular) haven't capitulated to this disease too readily? I wonder if I haven't believed the medical assessment too quickly?
"There is no known cause, there is no effective treatment. This is a disease that is a death sentence, it holds all the aces and we are helpless in its presence as at this time. Research may eventually rob this disease of its relentless power and progress but not today".
Surely God's power can reach beyond that medical evaluation? Is there anything too hard for the Lord? So my heart cries out to my God in the words of Habakkuk, the Old Testament prophet,
O LORD my God, my Holy One, you who are eternal — is your plan in all of this to wipe us out? Surely not! O LORD our Rock......" (1/12) "I will climb up into my watchtower now and wait to see what the LORD will say to me and how he will answer my complaint . (2:1)
The Cabin that has been made available to use for these 10 days is, for me (Mike) like my watchtower. The Prophet's words summarise my attitude at this time. I have climbed into my watchtower and I wait to see what the Lord will say to me.
