God Shouted At Me

"God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." C.S. Lewis
God shouted to me during my recent hospitalization and illness, which I am still recovering from. He seemed to yell, "Jacob, do a better job of taking care of yourself. Lose weight. Eat healthy. Be more careful. Get to the doctor sooner when you are sick."
God almost seemed to shout, "You can't take others' problems on your shoulders all the time. You have a big enough burden to bear. Do what you can but let Me have control."
Finally, God shouted in my pain, "Worship me. Take more time for Bible study and prayer. Worship Me."
