I heard a book review on the radio that I thought was worth sharing considering the difficult last few weeks seeing our nephew Micah so seriously ill.
Handholds of Faith
1. God allowed it.
2. Face the facts.
3. Go ahead and grieve.
4. What does God say?(See Job chapters 41-42.)
5. Don't rehearse the hurt.
6. Take time to practice His truth.
7. Share your past, don't waste your sorrows.
These thoughts are from Kay Arthur's book, When the Hurt Runs Deep. She mentioned that Job faced severe trials and he comes to the place where he realizes that God is trustworthy. We can place our pain in His hands.
"May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our LORD. His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he granted to us his precious and very great promises..." II Peter 1:vv.2-4
