Why do we think we still have to accomplish everything even when we are sick?
Today God reminded me of Peter's mother-in-law as encouragement. I was feeling guilty for being sick, to be quite honest, while at the same time was not surprised that I was. That's when He reminded me of Matthew 8:14, "When Jesus went into Peter's house, He saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever."
It doesn't say she was putting around the house trying to get things done, or that she was coughing and sneezing on them while serving: She was in bed.
Thank you Lord for reminding me it's OK to rest when I'm sick. I needed that.
