JOB… today, we are instructed in the faith, life, worship, and ways of God,
BECAUSE Job SUFFERED.
His life was/is the most powerful treatise of testimony for all who are tested.
Always remember, your darkness is on display.
On the dark velvet is the backdrop for brilliant diamonds.
Facets, cut, polished… light is refracted, reflected, refracted,
Purpose,
When you are committed and obedient to the call of God on your life, there is a supernatural equation that is added to your life that darkness is transformed into light, trouble is transformed into treasure and difficulty becomes a witness to others about the supernatural power of God.
Trouble,
Trials,
Temptations,
God can use you and your life in even greater ways when we are willing to worship and glorify God in the midst of it all!
In Him, By Him, Through Him,
Scott A. Phillips

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
