Full Trust In God!
"Shall we indeed accept
good
from God, and shall we not
accept adversity?"
Job 2:10
How many question marks arise in your soul?
There are more than two hundred in the
book
of Job. Every chapter is filled with questions,
and many by Job himself, who is described
as the most righteous person on earth
(Job 1:8).
His first question, however, demonstrated
how his faith survived the darkness: “Shall
we accept good from God, and not trouble?”
Jesus warned us that we will face troubles in
this world, but be of good cheer! For He has
overcome the world and all its troubles (John
16:33). He does all things well and works all
things for good.
We often don't understand what
God is doing
in our own, or someone else’s life, or why. Yet
Christ is always working in deep areas of our
life beyond human eyesight and also in deep
patterns of providential circumstances.
When we can’t answer “Why?” we can
always remember “Who.” We can place
full trust in the Sovereign God who is
always in control.
"Faith is the conquering grace;
this is what gives the victory; this is what
crushes this tremendous foe. How does
faith overcome the world? By leading
the believer to the cross of Jesus."
Octavius Winslow
