Dina Deleasa Instagram – This morning I finished reading through Job. I thought it was timely that I read through this book when I did. Job was stripped of everything, and his faith greatly tested. Now, I am not saying I am stripped of everything, but I am sure having my faith tested. However, I do not like using the word tested, it is more like it is being stretched. From being stretched I know it will bring me to a deeper level. The idea of testing makes me feel like there has to be the possibility of giving up and walking away. That is just not an option I am considering. But there have been questions, confusion and fear that has come in waves if I am being honest.
I am constantly reminded he is king over the flood, the wind, and waves. I can be still and know he is God. One of my favorite verses has always been Phillipians 4:13, however in this season Job 42:2 has replaced it for the time being.
Then Job replied to the Lord:“I know that you can do all things;
no purpose of yours can be thwarted.”
I may have to walk an unexpected road regarding my health at this time. Right in the middle of what seems like the time I should have had a more clear path to step forward into the season that had me firing on all cylinders. But perhaps, there is more to learn so I can cast a wider net. The strongest steel is forged by the hottest fire, maybe my armor needed another layer. So to that I say thank you for picking me for the fire. As I am confident that no matter what turn this road takes, all will lead me to your purpose for me, not someone’s desperate plan for destruction.
