We have a young man, at least by my standards, around 50 who I wrote about previously who experienced a two sided stroke. His family learned that he was a diabetic, a pretty major one as it turned out. He also had a genetic complication of having only two aortas verses the number of four in the majority of people. He also had high cholesterol and high blood pressure. He never knew any of these things because he never took a physical. No one else knew this because he was always in the gym when he wasn’t at work. He is now battling an infection on top of everything else.
Most of us I believe have no clue of what lurks inside of us. We go through life toughening ourselves up against whatever physical ailment we have until it overpowers us. It is tough living in this world. There are constand concerns pulling at each of us. If it is not our health, it is someone that we love. If it is not health issues, it is world issues. If it is not either of those it is the economy. How do we get through all of us and still have peace? God is our refuge and our strength. It is not weakness to believe He exist. It is not weakness to rely on Him. It is quite the opposite, our greatest strength. Choose strength today. Read scripture. Get to know the one true God.
