We read about Job’s journey and often make the mistake of placing ourselves somewhere in the middle of his trial. We must rest in hope by fixing our focus on his end. Although he endured seemingly impossible challenges, he was rewarded with multiplied blessing in his later days.

“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.” [1 Pet. 4:12,13]

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, forgive me for complaining about the hardships of life. I know You will give me the strength to endure to the end when I will receive the reward You have prepared for me.

DAILY READING: Job 11-17
