Job went through a lot of heartache and hardships. Tough times are said to either make us or break us. If you’re going through a tough trial right, look to Job for inspiration.
Job had faith! This is what carried him through the tough times. Job didn’t understand why any of the hardships were happening to him and he felt like God was against him and not for him. Yet here he is. Declaring that he will trust in God.
Slaying times are not fun times but they build up our faith. Job didn’t let go of the things he knew to be true. He knew he was innocent and he knew that God is good! That’s worth repeating. Job knew that God is good. It’s important that we read our Bible and deepen our understanding of who God is. Know His character. Know His promises. It’s difficult/impossible to trust someone you don’t know. Get to know our good, good God and cling to Him during the tough times.
We have the benefit of the Bible but Job didn’t see that God was there allowing Satan to test him but not kill him. Keep that in mind when you don’t understand why things are happening. We can’t see the whole picture but we can trust that God does. We can trust that God is for us and not against us. We can trust that God will never leave us nor forsake us. We can trust that He loves us and cares for us. We can trust that God will protect us and lead and guide us back to safety.
What else are you trusting God for? 🙏
