Proverbs 18:14
The spirit
of a man will sustain his infirmity;
but a
wounded spirit who can bear?
When
someone is wounded deep within they are not always the easiest to be
around. This wounded of spirit is where
the actual courage to go on and live has been deflated and all relationships
become affected by the one wound. Some
of us have been there and some of us have known those in such a place.
We must
guard our spirits when we are wounded so that we have the strength to make it
through the healing process. We need
strength to bring our injured souls before the Word of God and be able to
discern what sort of greater good the Lord is seeking to accomplish with
us. We cannot be women who cooperate
with the wound allowing it to be infected and penetrate deeper than it has to.
Our spirit
must stay in constant fellowship with our God who loves us and not allow the
sins of others to contaminate our abiding place in the love that God has for
us. Their sin has no bearing on God’s
love and favor towards us. From the
beginning the devil has sought to interrupt the fellowship man has with his
God. In the Garden of Eden, we see Satan
so jealous of the ongoing fellowship man has with God that he deceives Eve and
we find Adam and Eve hiding from God.
Our spirit will sustain our infirmity and our spirit must not be
unnecessarily wounded and hidden from the mercies of our God.
Approach
the Lord with your pain and don’t hide from Him. Don’t allow the most certain wounds you will
face to penetrate to this point. We need
to be before Him and in Him while we are wounded. This will allow us to continue enjoying our
relationships with God, our children, our husbands and others not matter what
sort of wounding we have faced. If our
spirit gets wounded, we will be very difficult to be around. Feed your spirit, fellowship with the Lord in
your spirit and speak the truth to your inner man. Our inner man is of great value to the Lord
and as we are meek and gentle within, He will heal our wounds.
