A Purified Word

Proverbs 30:5  Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Psalms 12:6  The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

There are no hopeless situations, only men who have grown hopeless about them.  I'm so glad to know that GOD is more than just a man.  I am so THANKFUL that God never sees it that way--hopelessness.  We may get to feeling down and out but God is always on top...and up to something! :)

He's working even in the midnight.

All through the Bible we can read of His faithfulness, and it's such sweetness to read, but often times very hard to rightly apply to our worried minds.  We say we trust God, but often times we still worry. 

God speaks pure words.  Truth. 

We go 'through fiery trial' and life-hardships, but I believe this happens really because God wants to prove Himself to us.  He wants to show us how BIG He is!  And He wants to teach us that we are more than conquerors.  Every WORD that God speaks into us is the truth and so perfected.  As silver tried in the furnace...purified seven times.

There are seven days in our week...and each and every day there is a purified Word that stands at the ready for us.  A purified WORD that we can cling to each and every day that we live and breathe!!  A purified Word that breathes hope, renewal, and protection.  His Word is a sword, but it's also our shield.

The last 2 months have been a "blind walk" for me.  And I still continue that journey.  Actually, I really never want to stop walking this walk called the "trust journey".  But, today instead of the anxiousness, today I find such peace of mind. 

Just yesterday, my boss came and told me that a billable project needed doing, so today would not be my last day at the office.  PRAISE GOD!!!  I was told that I am to keep job-searching, and if I get hired on somewhere I am free to go, but it looks like I could be employed right where I am for another 2 months or more.  I am EXTREMELY excited about this.  And I know that this turn of events is a TOTAL GOD thing.  So I went to work today!  And I'll be going to work tomorrow! 

I keep thinking about the word that was spoken in a message preached by Eld. McMullen at Campmeeting this year.  He was preaching and he said, "God can give you you're job back!"  I don't know if that is what God is doing right now, but I do know that He is supplying a stable income for me.  Every need in my life right now, He is supplying.  And, in my boss's words, a "breather has been given".  YES!  I am breathing again. 

God is never too busy to keep watching over me.  He knows exactly how to take good care of me. 

And He can and will do the same for you!  You may feel that you're being raked over the coals of the furnace right now, but just hold on.  Just trust and hold on!  I need the company :)
