Day 56

James 5:8 ~ “You, too, must be patient. Don’t give up hope. The Lord will soon be here.” (GWT)

Can you imagine what it must have been like to be in Job’s shoes? I often marvel at his predicament, he was tried and tested just because he was a good guy. He lost everything, his children, his animals, his health. His friends and his wife turned against him. The thing that amazes me is that throughout the entire ordeal, he never lost his hope in the Lord. He even went so far as to say, “And though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” I don’t know about you, but Job always makes me look at my situation in a different light. I want to remind you today to be patient with God, don’t give up the hope that He will rescue you. It may seem like you’ve been going through this situation for a long time, but just be patient. Sure, it’s just one thing after another, but I encourage you to not lose hope. If you can endure to the end, God will restore everything that was lost, and then some! Just look at what He did for Job. Continue to lift your eyes to the hills, your help is on the way!
