Fearlessly Tested

I am currently in Washington, DC, looking at a cold, rainy day, and =
I’m wondering if my flight home will be delayed or cancelled.  Plane t=
rips affected by weather is a test for me.  How about you?  My an=
xiety level goes up, and my patience is stretched.  And if you have a =
non-refundable/non-changeable ticket, you roll the dice on your chances to =
get somewhere in a timely way.   Will flights get cancelled?  Wil=
l I be stranded somewhere for the entire day?? Perhaps you can feel my conc=
erns   There are tests of you=
r faith that occur every day.  They come in various ways, and most of =
us worry about failing the test.  Job, however, says something interes=
ting about the end result.  Job says he will “come forth as gold”.&nbs=
p; If you’re going through something right now, don’t worry about your succ=
ess or failure.  God is also working on the inside of you, because He =
sees the gold in you.  Be encouraged that God will see you through.&nb=
sp; Just try to walk as close to Jesus as you can…

 O God we know that in every test of=
our lives we can look to you for help, strength and comfort.  Bless u=
s today, so that beyond the anxiety and the travail, we can also see the go=
ld in us, in Jesus name,   AMEN
