Trying Times Will Pass As They Always Do
Text: Job 13:15
“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.”
Message
Today’s text shows Job trust in God and his belief that trying times will pass as they always do. It encourages we hold on and up though the turf gets very tough, rough, and life sapping.
As no condition is permanent, it behoves us never to give up or lose hope. We always have faith. It’s faith that makes and allows us to cope.
Know that trying times will pass as they always do , so just have patience. Your dreams will come true.
As you journey through life, there may be times when all you see is gloom with no place left to turn, your loved ones gone, and those you trust have betrayed you. Nevertheless, hold on, don’t give up because life’s challenges don’t last forever.
Always bear in mind that as this night falls, a brand new day will begin, and you never know which amazing things they could bring your way and so stay strong, keep the faith, and stay positive.
Don’t get lost in the sea of despair. Be hopeful and optimistic and go with the spirit of “Dum Spiro, Spero”; “where there’s life, there’s hope.”
Remember, sometimes you have to go through the hard times to realize how strong you are and so don’t need to get stressed. Keep hope alive and always be grateful to God.
There are many in the Bible who were down, but God lifted them up because, as Samson, their hairs grew again:
Abraham was lying about Sarah being his wife, but he returned from Egypt to become the friend of God.
Jacob was cheating then but returned to ask for forgiveness and became a prince in the sight of God.
David was committing awful sins, but he returned and became the greatest king ever to sit on the throne of Israel.
Job was proud because he stood for God and went through the persecution, but he was revived and once again gave God the glory He deserved.
Jonah was running away, but he returned and preached one of the great revivals in history in the city of Nineveh.
Peter was cursing and denying the Lord before a little girl, but he preached at Pentecost and saw 3000 people saved.
Thomas was a doubter then, but he returned and believed that Jesus is his Lord and his God. He gave his life in service in the country of India.
John Mark was in Pamphylia. He turned back and left the first Missionary Journey, but his hair grew again, and he regained his power and wrote one of the four Gospels.
James and John were seeking the best seats, but they rose again and became Pillars in the New Testament Church.
You will again stand tall on your feet, walk head high, not bowed, and speak with mouth no one can resist and unequal wisdom that no one can gainsay.
I seal your victory over all destiny destroyers by fire now and forever, in the name of Jesus Christ.
