“You will forget your trouble…as water gone by.” Job 11:16 NCV IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON No matter how bad things look, always remember the words, “it came to pass,” not to stay. Life doesn’t stand still; there will always be challenges. Don’t let them throw you for a loop; instead, use them as opportunities to grow. Once you’ve grown in the areas where #God thinks you need additional #maturity, the season you’re in will pass. Nothing lasts forever. Although it’s hard to #believe at the time, “You will forget your #trouble and remember it…as water gone by.” One author writes: “To forget isn’t to develop amnesia. It’s to reach a place where the #misery is pulled from the #memory like poison is removed from an insect bite. Once it’s gone, #healing is inevitable. The memory will become as ‘water gone by.’ When the water that’s flowing around your ankles today passes, you’ll never see it again.” Kristin Armstrong says: “When someone died in Old #Testament times, those who were in mourning marked their faces with ashes. They allotted a specified season, after which they scrubbed up and moved on. How much healthier is that than our society? We put on makeup, or a happy or stoic face, and prohibit people from having #compassion and #respecting the limits of where we are. We’re so busy hiding, we’re buried under ashes on the inside. God will call us to arise and #shine when our #light has come (Isa 60:1). Ask Him to set your time limit, and be ready to wash your face.” Then move on.
