It’s not fun to be sick. Especially when your energy is sapped for months on end. That’s exactly what happens with mononucleosis. After going through mono myself during the last 2 months, I’ve suddenly heard everyone else’s horror stories. They’ve convinced me that I haven’t had such a bad time. I could’ve been bedridden and hospitalized for 3 months like some others,… but instead, I was traveling around the former Ottoman Empire for 3 weeks! No wonder I still feel tired today!
In light of this bout with mono, the question I want to ask is, how do we glorify God in the midst of sickness? Sure, it takes energy we might not have to put on a happy face when we’re sick. But I don’t have to fake anything to glorify God through mono. I can simply acknowledge His sovereignty and His steadfast love in the midst of it. Indeed, if I really saw things in perspective, I would be praising Him! … Convinced of this, I came home from the doctor the other day and wrote the above song, “Celebrate in Christ.”
