It was Emotional for Job

"It was Emotional for Job."

When you read the account of Job most think about how
shatan attacked him physically but there's a lot more.
You see shatan attacked him emotionally also he made
him feel the hurt inside as never before.
It was an attack that Yah allowed as with us who are
selected to go and grow through these attacks every day.
I know I'm feeling it emotionally and today I didn't want
to get up but I know the answer is to pray.
I know many of you who will read this are going through
something that shatan has brought on you emotionally.
When he can get to your feelings and make you feel
powerless he has waged war on you spiritually.
Just as it was torture for Job to lose his children and
left with a wife who I'm sure wished that he was dead also.
When shatan comes at you the gloves are coming off he
is no joke I really want you to know.
We are victorious against the devil but right now at this
writing I feel like I'm being beaten by Muhammad Ali.
Shatan is a greater liar too so you can't believe everything
that he places before you to see.
He wants you to fall into despair and depression and become
useless not being a help or a testimony to someone.
Right now I could be crying somewhere the way I feel but
this poetry for you and others has to get done.
I know you are feeling the same way like it's never going
to end but it's more closer than we can believe.
Yah is not going to let us go beyond what we can stand
shatan is limited so I hope this encouragement you'll receive.
He is not a renegade who does at will to Yah's own what
he wants he has to be allowed to do this to you.
But just know just as Job was delivered from his captivity
Yah will come in with comfort and compassion and do it too.
Your nights may be filled with tears but the morning will
bring in new mercy and hope to you who are down.
So I hope as you go and grow through this episode some truth
and encouragement in this poem you've found.
Job was dealt with and he was stricken physically but on
him it took an emotional toll as well.
I hope that when my time is up and there is a time limit
a testimony of Love and victory I will be able to tell.

Shalom,
