365 Days with God (Book One)

Day 159

Life continues whatever happens. Faith in God is still the best armor.

God will never get you in a situation alone, he is there willing to catch you, to listen, he is ready to accommodate and he is never busy for you. He is just patiently waiting for you to call him if you need help. Let us account the story of Job in the bible. The theme of the book of Job is to teach us about God's justice in the face of human struggles. Even if we are righteous in the sight of God, we are to suffer to strengthen our integrity towards God. Job is blessed with a large family, he even have possessions in life. He is a man with an exceptional character, which is indeed remarkable (blameless and upright) . Satan came before the Lord and ask to test Job. Satan then attacked Job's character. "Satan then said that Job would curse God if everything he had was taken away. In response, God put all that Job had in Satan's power, with the exception of Job himself." (Job 1:6-12)

Then when Satan hit him, he had taken all away Job's material possession. Satan even killed his son's and daughter leaving Job in grief. But one thing is truly remarkable with Job, even if everything is taken away from him he worships God even more. Satan even strike Job with boils to test if Job will curse God. Job's wife tells him to curse God but he didn't mind the pain bringeth by boils, instead he didn't charge God for having him in pain, he didn't blame God.

We too can be likened to Job, if we are being put to test we should worship God and have faith in him more and more. It doesn't mean that the most worst situation will tire us, and weary us off from praising God. It is just a test if we are truly deserving for God. Don't be afraid to take a journey in a dark valley because GOD IS WITH YOU.


Let us expect trouble in life, but do not be despair in the account of it. Be joyful if suffering is in your way. "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth." (Mark 9:23).

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, throw yourself into me, you are my life saver Lord. Even in times of test you stood by me to make me strong. Amen.
