Playing Hurt
Are you facing this new day discouraged? Wounded in your heart and soul? Like an athlete still in the game after being rocked, we call it ‘playing hurt.’ My friend, I know this does not sooth your soul, but most people ‘play hurt,’ at least part of the time.
Yes, some hide it better than others. Here’s what’s good. While ‘busy’ does not change the reality of what discourages you today, your ‘to do’ list is at least distracting. Paul in Philippians 3:12 tells us that he had to press on to accomplish what he needed to do.
We know he had a problem thorn in the flesh, whatever that was, that never went away. He was ‘playing hurt.‘ Succumbing to life’s injuries is unnecessary and we’ll be rewarded for pressing on.
