6/28/2024 - Don't Be Rebellious!

As I was finishing the book of Job last night, one thing really stuck out to me.

This morning, I was reminded of three additional passages to go along with this one.

Paul spoke of glorying in tribulations in Romans 5:3-5, and in Romans 8:17 Paul also wrote that if we suffer with Christ, we are heirs of God and fellow heirs of Christ, so that we may be glorified with Him.


Job was definitely tested, and he was denied the desire to die. At the end of it, God restored to him all that had been lost and more, and he had a very long life.


So, don't complain when you're in the refiner's fire. And don't wish for it to be over quickly. Allow the process and lean on God. Lean into the trial and the pain as Jesus did with His scourging and crucifixion, and tell God with a sincere heart, "Your will be done." Thank Him for the trials, and ask Him to reveal what He wants you to see and learn from the ordeal. Praise Him through it! He will sustain you, He will strengthen you, He will protect you, He will help you, He will provide for you, He will comfort you, He will lift you up, He will refine you, He will help you grow, He will teach you patience, He will delivery you, He will reward you, and He will give you peace.


Sometimes we have to lose in order to gain and receive greater things. And as my pastor's wife said not too long ago, "if you're not suffering, you're not really living your faith."
