All You Need And More!

Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face. Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance, for no godless man would dare come before him!Job 13:15-16

Job was rich, powerful and prosperous. He had a large family, plenty of livestock and several servants. He was a man who feared God and served him completely. Everything was going well in Job's life. In the world's eyes, he was very successful.

Then, God gave Satan permission to test Job to see if his faith was real or merely the product of prosperity. And in just a few short days, the bottom dropped out of Job's life. He lost his health, his family, his possessions and many of his friends. Job was suddenly, completely, unexplainably miserable.

But his faith never waned. And he never turned his eyes from God.
Job knew that God must have a reason for what was happening. He trusted God even in the face of ridicule, misery and persecution. And in the end, God provided Job with all he needed and more.

Things may go wrong in your life. But if that happens, don't turn your eyes from God. Trust that he has a plan for your life. Continue to follow God's plan. And in the end, God will provide you with all you need and more.

Do you have a story you would like to share?
