Keep Fighting to Find Beautiful You! (Job 25-27)

I found it funny that Bildad said that God doesn't see good in us, even the stars and the moon! But hey! If you look at Genesis, you will find that God said that He saw that everything He made was good! Oh boy! Bildad finally doomed himself into silence among his other two friends as he spoke briefly for the first time to end his 3rd found of fight! If you look back, you will see that Eliphaz ended his 3 rounds, Bildad ended shortly in his 3rd round, and Zophar didn't even enter his 3rd round. So Job "took over" Zophar's turn and kept speaking!

I love how Job described God, "Behold, these are but the outskirts of His ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?" -Job 26:14

I pictured a kitten's gentle whisper "MEOWING" turning into a lion's thundering "ROAR", a short video that my home church back in California has shown! When we are in search for our lost kitten, we will have to look or/and hear carefully to find a frighten kitten hiding in a corner! God isn't like a frighten kitten, but His voice may be hidden. We will have to learn how to recognize His voice. But His power is like a lion, we all can see how He kept the earth in motion, kept the balanced gravity to hold His creations on the earth (neither trap us like an anchor or let us flying across the space!), and many more!

Yeah we recognized Him like Job (and his friends)! But do we understand that we need to keep fighting our fight of faith? After grabbing a free ticket to the "Beautiful You" conference, I recalled a book I read 3 years ago called, "Fight Like a Girl" by Lisa Bevere. So, I went into my storage to find that book this morning and found the highlighted, "Girls are meant to fight like girls, but for some odd reason, most of us would rather be told we fight like men." That's the error in the society's ways that we live in today! We shouldn't fight like men, or even like a girl, but to let the "man" in us male and female that God created in His own image fight! That's how Job fights, by abandoning the hope in life, and fight with Hope...

What does that mean? Job said, "Will he [or she] take delight in the Almighty? Will he [or she] call upon God at all times?" Will you call upon Him and keep fighting, but not as a man or as a girl, but as His people! We are all called to Him first. We fight our fight of faith by calling to Him. We got to fight through the storms like how we refined the gold using storm precipant, God refines us using the storm. We got to cry to Him and go into that battle and keep fighting to enter the next level to become "BEAUTIFUL YOU"!

Let's commit ourselves to keep fighting in the battle we are called to fight:

"In short, what God did was bless Israel (replace it with Your Name here) by forcing them (You) to engage in a battle that they (You) were afraid to fight. As result of this, Israel not only experienced victory in that one particular battle but discovered that there was no city too strong for them and that the Lord delivered them all." - Erwin McManus.
