Are You Going Through Your Own Job Season?


Ever feel like you just can't catch a break?

Are you experiencing one challenge after another and wondering when things will change for the better?

You are not alone. God knows exactly what you are going through and sees your struggles.

Want evidence? Read the Book of Job.

Job was a faithful servant of God. Blessed with wealth, love and prestige, Job lived to serve God.

Satan, in his never-ending desire to destroy God's children pleads with God to allow him to "test" Job's faithfulness to God when hit with destruction, devastation, and adversity. God allows Satan to take everything away from Job except for his life, knowing that Job's heart would remain true to God.

No matter what befell Job he refused to turn his back on God and continued to trust Him completely. No matter how hard Satan tried, he could not take away Job's faith. God rewards Job's faithfulness and perseverance and restores what Satan stole from him and poured out His blessings upon Job.

Know that God is on your side. Satan cannot break you, tear you down, discourage you, or cause you to give up, without God's permission.

What does that mean?

It means that God is in control and that whatever adversity He allows to come into your life, He will also make a way and provide you with the means to overcome it.

Stay faithful, put your trust in God, He loves you and has your better tomorrow ready for you. Press into God, continue to walk with Him, He will restore you.

Blessings,
