By the skin of my teethJob 19:20
My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh, [state of great emaciation after a long, difficult trial]
and I have escaped BY THE SKIN OF MY TEETH. [the most narrow escape - nothing was left but his lips; he was just able to speak]

Pray the Word:
Lord, we feel like Job, at times, when we feel that we’re hanging BY THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH during a long and difficult time of trials and we’ve gone as far as we can go - we want to give into one of our ‘it’s not fair!’ speeches and really get it all off our chest and scream – ‘there is no justice'!! . . arrgh!’ . . . . . then . . . . we say, ‘Thank You, Lord, for listening to me! I know that this too shall pass and, though all else fades away, I know You see, know and understand what’s going on with me and will see me through with victory!’

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
