Further Reading: Psalms 66:10-12

For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined.

Psalms 66:10 NKJV

MESSAGE

I have been through many troubles and I know that many people are going through such difficult seasons. One of my biggest take away is that God is faithful. He is so faithful that He makes all things beautiful.

Do you remember the story of Job, this dear man of God who went through all the troubles but God came through for Him? At the peak of his suffering, Job reckoned that His redeemer lives. For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;
Job 19:25 NKJV

The end of Job was far better than His being and could look back and be grateful to God fir His mercies. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
James 5:11 NKJV

God wants to give us amazing testimonies, He wants to make us a living proof of His faithfulness. So, your battle is not the end but a means to the end. There is going to be a victory for you. God will bring you to the point of great victory such that your testimony will be, glory to God.

The end of things is better than the beginning thereof, God does not want you to worry but trust Him. Be patient and wait for the salvation of the Lord. The enemy may think he has you cornered but God is bringing you out with a shout of joy.

There is still hope for you, as long as Jesus is on the throne, He will restore you and make all things new for you.

REFLECTION

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Romans 5:5 NKJV

Our God is a God of hope, and those who trust Him will not be ashamed but filled with His joy.

PRAYER

Father, please restore my joy to me, and let me not be ashamed because I hope in you.
