Today, I woke up sick...the kind of sick that has you bored...can't sleep, can't think, can't read, can't move, body aches, sneezing, etc. My honest first purposeful thought was "God, did you make me sick so I could hang out with You?" I did have some time talking with my Creator/Messiah and some time of reflection between groaning in dull pain...it was good, but a question arose that may be more plausible in other adverse situations that cross our paths.
Sicknesses, roadblocks, accidents, and other similar nuisances of varying degrees: events of God's guiding hand or evidence of an adversary throwing roadblocks at you in an attempt to keep you from God's best?
I don't intend to wax eloquent on this issue; I have an opinion, and I would love to hear your opinion first. I'm sure we'll come to the conclusion that there is no clear cut line towards one or the other. Perhaps it's a bit of both, perhaps it's all God's plan even though it's painful, perhaps it's sin...I know I'm playing Devil's Advocate, but I'm sick...I may not have made much sense anyhow...
