Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him (Job 13:15).
Job was the poster boy for rough times.
He was beaten up, knocked down, stepped on. He had more reason than any of us to think that God had abandoned him.
Yet what did he say?
Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him.
Can you say that, Beloved? Will you hope in him regardless of what happens in your circumstances? Is your hope based entirely in God’s character, or is it based in your own wants and needs?
Are there any limits to your hope in him?
Any “if’s” to your love?
Something to chew on today, Beloved.
Good post, Michael. Thanks for the faith boost. May God help us to truly trust in Jesus’ Name.
Sadly, yes. I’ve been facing the sick, disgusting reality lately that my passion for and hope in the Lord is more directly related to circumstances and affirmations than I’d like to admit. But, here I am admitting it because I just don’t even care anymore. 😞
I’m walking on a difficult journey and I know why I can do it, is because of God’s strength not mine Thank you Jesus I praise and glorify you
