“But also rejoice in our sufferings because you know that suffering produces perseverance and perseverance produces character and hope.”
Romans 5:3-4
WThe simple and elaborate fact that I remain cared for is a concept that continues to slip my grasp. The level of faithfulness I can exhibit to a holy God is sobering, especially when I contemplate how steadfast He has been. His faithfulness remains exceptional as I stand in the black on solid ground again. His attention to detail, and those tailor made moments of refinement leave me in a state of reconstruction, yet also longing for more.
However, while the business and the education from it, appears on point, the internal casualties of war ushering in strife and trials from the pages of life’s twists turns continues to be anything but. There are days when the world seems beyond the financial boundaries of my mental capacity. There are moments when I’m lucky to survive what is being dealt, much less successful in playing it and defeating it.
Praise God for His promises through these predestined trials and tribulations. In the wee hours of washing feet the understanding is mine that I can only do all things through Christ Who strengthens me, and this slate before my eyes was never mine to conquer in the first place.
