Job 23:10 "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
We all have different trials. Different weights of gold have different metals or coppers added in the process of being tried. Gold when it comes forth is like a mirror, very clear and transparent.
I have turned my face to the wall a few times this month lately. Crying from the pain of struggles. Telling myself not to give up, not to faint in my mind. I will see the harvest in Jesus name. There will be restoration, reconciliation, and healing in my family and in the Body of Christ.
It helps to remember that I am not the only one being tried. Others have asked me many months ago to pray for them and their families. God has answered. Now will I wait and believe and hope for the things that are to come in my life and with my family? I expect nothing less than clear, glowing transparency and beautiful reflections of God's glory to be when the answers come.
To quote one of my dearest friend's songs, "I WAS MADE TO OVERCOME..."
