Ever feel like nothing good is happening? You sit and wonder, God…why are you making this so difficult for me? Why are you giving me all this hardship and pain?
A lot of people with fake faith walk away at this point. They say, There is no God or He wouldn’t let me go through this. Why is He “punishing” me?
Stop and think for a moment. Have you been through what Job went through? Is it possible that God isn’t punishing you, but rather building you up to be a stronger voice/example in His kingdom?
What’s been weighing on my mind lately is, too many people want to follow the Joel Osteen’s and Steven Furtick’s of this world and only hear, God loves you…He wants what’s BEST for you…He’ll protect you…if you are going through a tough season, you must be doing something wrong. Etc, Etc.
I submit to you that Job loved God, and God loved Job. Satan said, He (Job) only loves You (God) for the blessings You give him. God said, Ok devil…take it all away from him…let’s see!!! Job endured some HORRIBLE things, and yet he said, Though He slay me, yet I will trust in Him!! Job 13:15 KJV
Sometimes sin can have such a grip on us that, despite at one point giving our lives to Christ and dedicating our lives to sanctification through Him, that we wonder, Am I really saved?
Be encouraged and strengthen your faith today! You are His!!! Job was His!!!
Consider your trials JOY as the Apostle Paul did, and then SHINE your LIGHT as a city on a Hill for Jesus Christ!!!
