Day 7

Why do you think that God allowed us to know about Job and his God story?

Here is something to think about - Job never knew that the devil was putting him through this horrible test of his faith, wealth, and health and trying to destroy his faith. You know the story, Satan failed and Job stayed faithful to God. Saving faith will always be tested, just see Meshack, Shadrack, and Abendego.

Their faith was tested and God brought them through the fire!

My story was, I did fail the test when two of my three children ended up on drugs and ruining their young lives. Truthfully, I blamed myself and God. For 10 years I buried myself in work and the devil stole the joy of my salvation, but God never gave up on me. At 55 years old, I asked God to forgive me and He did. Since that point I have been so excited about a savior who never gave up on me, and He will never give up on you. So, when trials come, try praising Him. I've found out the blessing and breakthrough will come when you praise Him. I don't believe in "name it and claim it," but I do believe in our God who is not only a beautiful creator, but a super compassionate and loving God that cares so much for you. So will you allow Jesus's passion and love for you to change your heart as He did mine?
