O.K....but How?

There are lots of bad days in breast cancer treatment. Sometimes we feel like the proverbial Job.

I wish I could be a little more like Job in my responses, though. I wonder about God's choices and doubt His love sometimes. Not Job. He had some horrific days, and his reaction was to worship God! How could he do that?

I'll tell you how. He was steadfastly grounded in two immutable truths - that God is sovereign, and that God is good. All the time. Period. In his mind, those facts were indisputable - regardless of life's circumstances. His security was not shattered because his foundation was firm.

That is an enviable position, but not an unattainable one. Because just like breast cancer, it is a journey. A process from distorted views of who we are and who God is, to real keep-you-standing-when-the-rug-is-pulled-out truth. And the best part is that God just loves to walk us from one level of trust to the next, by being faithful in each ordeal!

Ask Him to reveal Himself to you in your current distress and He will.
