Jesus in the Midst of Chronic Illness Flare

Later this week, I will have my annual physical. I went in for the blood test last Friday. Not sure how my blood test went because I did not study for it. lol

I have been in the midst of a flare up for a few weeks, but did not seek treatment because some treatments can cause the blood tests to return negative.

Yesterday was a bit rough. I took two power naps but did manage to teach my two classes online. But that is life with chronic illness.

BUT- The whole day I felt the presence of Jesus. The whole day I felt a song in my spirit. It reminded me of Zephaniah 3 in the bible:

“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Have you experience that? The Lord singing over you? It can be a worship song in your spirit that just stays with you. Did you know that Jesus takes delight in you? Let that sink in for a moment. Jesus takes delight in you and sings over you.

I have experienced that during flare ups with chronic illness. I have experienced it during difficult times. At times it is what keeps me going.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
