"Is This That Chapter?"

Job 3:10-12 NLT

10 Curse that day for failing to shut my mother's womb, for letting me be born to see all this trouble.

11 Why wasn't I born dead?

Why didn't I die as I came from the womb?

12 Why was I laid on my mother's lap?

Why did she nurse me at her breasts?

This is that chapter of Job's life, when he was all up in his feelings, talking outloud to HIMSELF, asking himself questions, he never would have thought to ask, previously in happier times. 

Can you relate? Is this that chapter of your life, when "emotionally" you just talk without thinking?

Has the trouble at your door, frightened you to the point that you regret even being born?

Is that how you're talking now?

Beloved, It's YOUR words and NOT the words of other people that has the most power over your life. Death and life are in the power of YOUR TONGUE which could explain why Job went through every thing he went through FOR AS LONG as he did. Proverbs 18:21 NKJ

Yes, God was testing him, but..GOD NEVER DETERMINED how long the test would last.

Just like he's testing you right now and your words/actions will determine how long it last.

So, Feel like you feel (temporarily), but be careful not to let your emotions take root and you really start believing what you were just venting about, talking outloud to yourself about.

However, Here's the answer to your questions:

You were born to handle whatever you're facing right now. Death couldn't hold back your existence then and it cannot now.

You were nursed, laid on your mother's lap because as an infant that was your safe place, your strong place, your place of growth and fulfillment .The place from which you weren't afraid to become, to challenge life.

But now that you're older and life is challenging you...You wanna give up and just live in depression and regret. You wanna just open your mouth and out of your feelings, out of your "emotions" talk suicidal and have people look the other way.

"Is This That Chapter?"

Job had a chapter, when he was in his feelings, but his primary strength was always His Faith...May your faith outlast the trouble.

Until Next Sunday.
