God Is Sovereign

God is sovereign. He reigns over everything with His power and might.

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."

As Christians, we need to be more like Job. No matter what is thrown at us, how severe the trials and tribulations are we put our complete trust and faith in God. God is sovereign and is in control over everything. Our God today is the same God that brought Job through each one of his trials, purified him as pure gold, and blessed him abundantly in the end.

Love in Christ,
Tera
