Cotton Candy Believers?

Cotton-candy Believers?
Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.JOB 13:15a
"We like to talk about having the faith to be healed - what about the faith to be sick?." - Mike Mason
It takes a whole lot more faith to hear a “No” from God than a “yes.” A greater maturity is called for when God requires us to wait or when He, at times, appears silent in the midst of our painful circumstances. Any one of us can be whipped into a faith-filled, spiritual frenzy when the sun is shining , the bank account is full and our health is top notch, but let the bank account spring a leak due to a sudden job loss or we are handed a diagnosis of some dreaded disease and watch how the faith-o-meter plummets. In fact, listen to how the Enemy accused Old Testamentnt Job to God, “Of course Job loves You and trusts You, look how You take care of his every need. I bet if You let his world fall apart, he would curse You to Your face.” see Job 1:10-11
Ahhhh, but ol’ Job wasn’t your ordinary, run of the mill, cotton-candy believer. Not this guy. When the bad news and “what I feared the most” tragedies came flooding in, Job confessed -- perhaps through tears and clenched teeth, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”
Trust Him to know what’s best.
Trust His sovereign control.
Trust Him with my future.
Trust Him with my pain.
Trust His provision.
Trust His timing.
Trust His ways.
Trust His delays.
Trust His silence.
Trust His Word.
Simply trust.

Even if my circumstances stink -- yet will I trust Him. Not -- yet will I think it's great to suffer or, yet will take pleasure in the trial or, yet will I enjoy painful circumstances or, yet will I ignore the searing emotional ache…
No, Beloved, no. Yet will I trust Him.
Whatever the Lord God has allowed into your life, tragedy or triumph, healing or heartache…trust Him.
In quietness and trust is your strength Isaiah 30:15
Father God,
Cause my faith to rise above the make-me-feel-good kind of modern day Christianity and instead, embrace Your sovereign control over my life, even when it involves pain. Enable me to trust You as easily with a “No” as I do with a “yes” answer. I love You.
In Jesus’ precious name,
Amen
In service to Jesus, my Savior,
Becky Lusignolo-McGlone
