Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Job 1:21 says, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord”. We see in the life of Job, he lost everything that he owned. He faced severe problems in his life. Every person faces problems. Some problems come from outside the family and some come from within the family. Problems might emerge from the spouse, children or sometimes through in-laws. But God is faithful and He will not test you more than what you can bear. Even if you are tested, God will provide a way of escape out of it. God is giving you this assurance. You might be facing some major problem in your business. There are problems almost every day in life. You might be wondering as to when all those problems will come to an end. But God is greater than all our problems. He has conquered death itself
There came an end to Jobs problems. After his problems came to an end he received a double portion of blessing in his life. Job was confident that after all his sufferings of shame and distress, loss and affliction there will surely be an end to all his sufferings. Disaster struck his life like a thunder one after another. The death of his ten children was the greatest tragedy in his life. He was grief stricken. Today, like Job, you may think that you need to know when all your problems will come to an end. We must hope in God that He will not allow us to suffer more than what we can bear. We need to hope in the Lord and accept Gods plan in our life.
Genesis 32:22-31 says, “Jacob was left alone and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Jacob said “I will not go until You bless me.” You cannot go through another period of trial in your life. Trials may come because of your family members, in-laws relatives, neighbours, work spot or from any other source. To such people God says in Proverbs 23:18 “Surely there is a hereafter and your hope will not be lost.” The Lord encourages you to be strong and of good courage and to move on in your life by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we pray that You may grant Your children the needed strength to bear their problems. Help them to face the challenges boldly in their lives and to always remember that the Lord is in control of all their problems. We know that you have conquered all our battles on the cross. Help us to remember that we are victors and that we have a hope in you In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
