Truth Prevails

"who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed."  (1 Peter 2:24 NKJV)  

“Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it."  (Jer. 1:12  AMP)

 

I was exhausted from coughing and was having a hard time breathing.  I said (with the tone), "God, You said that by Jesus' stripes I'm healed, so I expect You to watch over Your Word to perform it!" 

Oh my...had I implied that if I didn't stop coughing, God's Word isn't true? 
 

That's messed up thinking.  God cannot lie.
 

 “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?”  (Numbers 23:19  NKJV)
 

“This is the life God promised long ago—and he doesn’t break promises!”  (Titus 1:2  MSG)
 

Thinking on truth gave me energy for the rest of my day.  Anytime I coughed I reminded it that God's truth prevails. Soon, the coughing ceased.
 

I love this life.
