Proverb
of the Day
Lately, I do feel like I’m going through the fire,
not necessarily, the fire of refinement, but a fire. The pain and fatigue have made me sad, not
depressed, just really sad. Especially
during the evenings, when I'm wanting a cup I find myself wondering if what I want is worth the walk
to obtain it…..is it worth the pain?
This song continues to minister to me.
How does God test the heart? My little bit of research shows that He uses
pain, afflictions…well…fire to test our heart.
During chemo, when I could still walk, the LORD asked me to listen to
the book of Job, which I am did – three times.
Now, I’m going to try to read through it. They are definitly two different processes in which we are able to glean very different lessons. At one point, He asked me to simply focus on
Job’s words….he was
discouraged,
confused,
questioning God,
BUT
he never cursed God.
I’m looking forward to physically reading this book. I believe God will give me
encouragement,
encouragement,
insights,
courage.
After all, in spite of my fiery trial,
I still love God.
I still have faith in Him.
I still trust Him.
Would you join me in doing the same? Would you please pray for me as I try to learn to
grasp His hand even more on this journey of a breast cancer survivor? I'm really needing prayer right now.
