Job 14:1-2 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. 2-He comes forth like a flower and withers; he flees like a shadow and does not continue.
Job reminds us on today that life here on earth is full of trouble. Did you hear that? Life is not trouble free, but full of them!
Trouble! Have you ever heard of it? Has it ever visited you? Do you know anything about it? Trouble is no respecter of person.
People of God, if you get nothing else, get this ! We WILL suffer! Just because we are God's people does not make us immune from the hardship, struggles, test and painful issues of life.
The good news in our suffering is God has not left us. He promises to be with us always, even unto the end. Remember the story of the 3 Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace? God was there! He is with us! Trust Him on today people of God, regardless of what you may have to suffer for the sake of Christ.
God's goal is to make us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ and unfortunately, pain and suffering is one of the vehicles he uses to drive us on that route
The Apostle Paul reminds us also that we will suffer some things as the people of God. Let's listen to him in 2 Timothy 3:12-Yes, and all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
The key is to trust God. Had Job not trusted God before his storms he would have never been able to say "though He slay me, yet will I trust Him."
God promises to be our very present help in trouble. God is our hiding place. Yes, He is our refuge in life's storm. Run to Him for cover for He will shield and protect you.
Look no further for God is your hiding place!
God bless.
