Though He slay me …

I woke up yesterday with a heavy heart because my dear friend was scheduled for a radical mastectomy that morning. I thought of her all day long and prayed for her. And finally, in the evening, I got to speak with her. Do you know what she said to me?

A single woman, godly, beautiful—found out ten days ago she has breast cancer, now in the midst of surgery and scheduling chemo and radiation—what did she say to me?

‘It was such a good day, Tara.’ And then she proceeded to retell all of God’s blessings throughout the day.

I woke up this morning with greater faith in the Lord—for He had graciously shown me His mercy and glory yet again.

‘Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him …’ Job 13:15
