Day 38: Job 13:15

"Though he slay me, yet I will trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways before him." ~Job 13:15, KJV


We all know the story of Job. He was righteous in God's sight, best of the whole land. Satan saw this, and asked for God's permission to try and crush Job - Satan claimed Job only worshipped God because God blessed him so. God agreed, and the Devil began tearing Job's perfect life apart, piece by piece. Despite this, Job never stopped trusting/believing in God.

When the storms pile around you and the pieces start falling apart, you've got to remember you have an enemy who wishes to kill, steal from and destroy you. You've got to search your heart and make sure you are clean before God, confessing any sin and getting forgiveness. And you can't let the waves and the wind trick you into sinning.

Trust God. Because He is good. ALL the time. And He won't give you more than you can handle with Him. He is always enough. Even in death, as Job says, He is enough! Job lost everything, but he could still say that. Put your hope, then, in Him!
