I don’t know how Job felt when Satan took away his health, his family and all of his possessions, but I know that for all the mistakes he made, he did not quit and he didn’t curse God for his condition. Later, God blessed Job beyond his wildest imagination. As a result, thousands of years later we are still taking about Job’s patience and faith. The reality of being a Christian is that there will be good days and days that are full of difficulty. We praise God during both types of days, and all the days in between as well. Not because we expect blessings, but because He is our Lord and we trust Him in the good times and in the bad. His plans and His children will prevail in spite of how things may look. He’s Almighty God, He’s our Father and He loves us. Isn’t that enough to make even a tough day better?
“But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.” Psalm 33:11
