Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him. Job 13:15 NKJV
I spoke to a friend I had not seen for several months. He was betrayed by someone he loves. He was heartbroken. He began to question his relationship with God. I asked him why he was questioning his faith. He answered, “How could God let this happen to me?” We all suffer trials and hardships. We all experience loss. Some of us have unmet expectations and dreams that do not become reality. Some of us may question our faith. Some of us will work through our doubts and questions. Others will turn their backs on God. When we have questions we cannot answer we must turn to what we do know! God created us in His image and likeness. He created us for the purpose of loving us. The Lord wants us to love Him. Jesus is for us and not against us. God will not test us with more hardship and suffering than our faith can endure. Jesus is a rewarder of people who diligently seek Him! God wants us to love Him during the mountain top strolls of life. When we experience His obvious blessing upon our lives. God also wants us to love Him during the slogs through the valley of weeping and sorrows. There may be times when we wonder if Jesus has turned His back on us. There may be times when we think the Lord has forgotten us. We will all be disappointed and hurt by people we love. We will all be hurt and disappointed by the circumstances of life. Do not judge God by your circumstances! Jesus knows all things. He is in ultimate control of all things. That does not mean everything that happens is God’s will. It means God’s good and perfect plan for His creation will ultimately prevail. Our destiny is to live in perfection with a perfect God! God gave us free will. Each of us will abuse that freedom in different ways. If Jesus forced us to love Him our love would mean nothing to Him. If Jesus forced us to be obedient to Him our obedience would have no value to Him! Jesus loves you. Trust Him with everything that happens in your life! Jesus came to the earth to live as a man so we can have life and have it more abundantly. The abundant life is available to us today. The reality of abundant life is that we can live above our circumstances. We do not have to be dragged down by them! You can live a joy filled life regardless of trials and hardships through faith in Jesus! Trust Jesus as you journey through life in the flesh so you can spend eternity with Him in eternal bliss! www.joyfor2day.com https://twitter.com/JoyFor2day #Joyfor2daydailydevotional

God will never put us in a situation that we will not be able to survive. Always remember this because when we are in a difficult situation, we tend to give up right away. But, God knows exactly what will happen towards the end. He has everything planned and in that plan, we will always come out as victorious. Learn to trust the process that He has created for us and I guarantee you that you will understand how powerful His love is for us.
