How many of us feel we can't take anything else? We are done and tired of the trials, the pain, the stress, and the unknown. Our endurance is long gone, and we need a break.
In writing this devotion, I thought of Job, and all the trials and pain that man went through. He had the extreme and heartbreaking loss of his ten children; he lost his home, his health and his wealth. Job never really understood all of his sufferings but he never gave in, he never threw in the towel, and I'm sure he needed and wanted a break. Job loved God, was a faithful follower of God, and his trust was in God. There are two verses which were spoken by Job that to me says it all. Job 13:15 "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him..." And then in Job 23:10 "But He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
Love in Christ,
Tera
