Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of
the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord-that the Lord is
very compassionate and merciful. James 5:11
Some days you have to ask, why the struggle? Why do we have
trouble at work, with our friends, neighbors, our health, even things in our
own home can be turbulent at times. The hallmark of a Christian is suffering
and enduring to the end. God never promised us an easy life, but He did promise
to never leave, nor forsake us. Deuteronomy
31:8
I can personally say the times I’ve been closest to God, and
have seen Him work, is when I was going through much difficulty. And recalling
those times, its just amazing what a role He played in helping me ease through
the challenge. His actions literally mimicked my prayers. Although He didn’t
remove the problem, He helped me work through it, He sustained me in the
struggle and provided hope for the next battle. Over time, a sense of
confidence in God will began to develop. That confidence didn’t come easy, but
it happened as I went through various trials and trusted in God to see me
through. Trust Him with your battles and watch out for His workings.
You might be going through some difficulty today. Trust in
the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. God has a
plan for every battle, every struggle you face. As you come closer to Him, let
Him carry your load and sustain you today! He’s ready, are you willing to
endure with Him? God bless!
