Job 36:15-16
But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer. For he gets their attention through adversity. 16 “God is leading you away from danger, Job, to a place free from distress. He is setting your table with the best food. |
In the face of adversity or when walking through the valley of struggle, it is easy to lose sight of God's promise that He will use "all things together for the good of those who love Him" (Romans 8:28). The enemy will often times whisper lies of discouragement into our ears, but rest assured, the Lord is faithful to complete the good work that He started in each of us (Philippians 1:6). The trials we face, often times, become the training ground for tomorrow's victory! I once heard some say, "today's pain is protection from tomorrow's suffering." Perhaps as the NIV version says, "He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction. (Job 36:16)"
We serve a loving and caring God! There will certainly be moments when it gets a little hot in the "kitchen" of life, but the oven is always hot right before the meal is served on "your table with the best of food." (Job 36:16)"
Father,
Thank You for going before us in every situation and in every circumstance. Thank You for taking the time to teach us, train us, and prepare us for all that You have in store. Help us to not grow weary during the heat of life, but to remain steadfast in the promise land of Your presence. We love you Lord! Amen.
