What trial are you going through?

I've been reading about Job in the Bible.  Wow!  How could one human possibly go through the suffering that Job did?  Could I do that?  Could my faith hold up to all the tragedy and suffering, physically and mentally that Job went through?  I would hope so, but it's a scary thought.  

It helps me though, when I go through my trials here on earth.  Trials that may seem trivial in light of Job's journey, but the same concept applies.  I keep my eyes lifted to the One who made me.  I don't take my eyes off God, the One who created the Heavens and the earth.  

 God is with us in our pain and afflictions of life.  His character gives us hope when life feels hopeless. I have peace in knowing that God may not remove all the pain that may come to me, but, trusting in Him gives me the confidence that I need through this season of life.  

Trust in God with all your heart and acknowledge Him.  I could not do this life without God in it!

Trials do not show us how strong our faith is, as much as they reveal whether we will remain faithful through them.

 Joshua 1:9 - “Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
