"Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to chasten his people; yea, he trieth their patience and their faith. Nevertheless—whosoever putteth his trust in him the same shall be lifted up at the last day. Yea, and thus it was with this people. For behold, I will show unto you that they were brought into bondage, and none could deliver them but the Lord their God, yea, even the God of Abraham and Isaac and of Jacob."
Mosiah 23:21-23
Oddly enough, this is my favorite scripture. The very first phrase is one that's stuck with me for years. "Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to chasten his people." We get extra trials because we follow Him. Or maybe, He wants to spare us the trials that would come anyway, but he allows them to come our way to strengthen us. To refocus us.
Yup. We're feeling it here at Casa De Boys. Life doesn't turn out rosy all the time. BUT, there are the other two verses. He's asking for our trust. Our faith. Our patience. If we give it, he will deliver us. Oh please, deliver us.
I'm intentionally not explaining because I'm not quite ready yet. We're all healthy. I'll put that out of your minds. This particular trial is one that isn't new to us. But it's so much scarier this time around.
