As Job defended himself to his accusers/comforters, he made a profound statement … “Though He slay me, yet will  I trust in Him.” He realized that he was in a period of suffering with no real answers and reasons from God.

God teaches us through suffering. The Bible says, “Even though Jesus was the Son of God, he learned obedience by what he suffered.” [Heb. 5:8]

We have the promise that God will not lay on us more than we can bear, but will ultimately make a way to escape. He will always prove to be our Healer.

PRAYER: Lord, to whom do we turn when we are afflicted? You are the Great Physician. Help us to glean and learn as we patiently endure the hardships of this life. We do trust that all things are working together for our good, because You are Good and You love us.
