Job 19:25

Good morning, Friends

I am so thankful to God for His love. And His help. The end of February has been...well not so great. I have gone through some personal situations that would have sent me spiraling downward if I had not been able to go to the Lord and count on Him. 

At the same time, someone in my family was going through her own trial and I tried to be there to support her.

I have to be honest with you. I do not like the trials that God sometimes lets us go through.

But in the midst of it all, I can also honestly say that my trials, my family member's trials do not compare to those of Job in the Old Testament.

He lost everything he had. His family. His wealth. Even his health suffered.

Yes, it seems he complained to me. 

And yet, these were his words in the midst of it all:

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth   Job 19:25

We often complain about our daily problems in this life. And granted they are not fun. And sometimes like Job's problems, they can be devastating to us. 

But just like Job, we can share with him the good news of it. That as Jesus said in John 16:33, "In the world we will have troubles, but take heart for I have overcome the world."

One day our troubles will end just like they did Job. And we will be with Jesus forever.

Boy, do I look forward to that day in my life. I am thankful for the hope that is in me.

In the meantime, I rejoice that I can also say, " I know that my Redeemer lives."

I pray that no matter what you are facing today, if anything-that you too have that hope.

Because Friends, it is the best thing we can have in these days whereby life sometimes gives us trouble.

Thanks for sticking with me during the past weeks and I am glad to be back again. God is good!

And may He bless you!
