Keep Trusting God
"Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." Job 13:15 NKJV
The story of Job reads like this: Chapter 1, he is one of the wealthiest men in his generation. Chapter 2, he loses everything, including his health, his wealth, and his children. Chapter 42, he is back on top again. Wouldn't you like to know what happened from chapters 3 through 41? If so, you should read the book of Job and find out how he had it all, lost it all, got it all back, and ended up with twice as much as he lost. Did Job have unanswered questions? Lots of them. Did he experience grief? Yes, to a depth that is hard to imagine. But Job never changed his mind about God, and God never changed His about Job. The Scripture best summarizes Job's attitude: "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." If you're stuck at a place you don't understand right now, don't give up--on God or yourself. When you don't understand your circumstances, and it feels like they're more than you can bear, stand on this great Bible promise: "You will keep Him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in...the Lord, is everlasting strength" (Isaiah 26:3-4 NKJV). Trusting God does not mean He will answer all your questions, but He will give you "perfect peace" regardless of the circumstances. Trusting God does not mean that you won't struggle, but that He will give you "everlasting strength." So, the word for you today is--keep trusting God, and He will bring you through this.
