Your Question:

What do I do when I'm forced to choose between my family and my health?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that when faced with a choice between family and health, God's word is clear. We must prioritize our relationship with Him and trust that He will guide us in making the right decision. When we're faced with a difficult choice, it's easy to get caught up in our own desires and opinions, but we must remember that God's will is what truly matters.

In 1 Timothy 4:8, it says, "Physical training is of some value, but godliness is valuable in every way." This verse reminds us that our physical health is important, but it's not the only thing that matters. When it comes to choosing between family and health, we must consider what God's will is for our lives. We must pray for guidance and seek His wisdom, trusting that He will lead us in the right direction.

As a husband and father, I've learned that putting God first means putting my family's needs above my own. When faced with a difficult choice, I must consider what is best for my wife, Susan, and our children, Joshua and Rebecca. I must prioritize their well-being and trust that God will provide for us, even if it means making a difficult decision. By putting God first, I know that He will guide me in making the right choice, even when it's hard.
