"Shall we indeed accept good from God and shall we not accept adversity."
Job 2:10
When life seem to go our way and there is peace and joy, it is easy to praise God for all our blessings. But when our lives don't go our way and adversity strikes us, how do we feel about God? Do we love and trust Him just because of what He does for us? How do we feel when our blessings go away? How do we feel when bad things happen?
Job was wise and loved God despite his sufferings when he said "Shall we indeed accept good from God and shall we not accept adversity." Job's love for God did not depend on a solution to all his problems. Job trusted and loved God because of all that He is.
Our love for God should not be based on only His blessings but for who He is. Focus on God's character and it will help you to take your attention off our circumstances. It is during the trials in life when our character is being shaped and God is with us through it all. It brings me comfort when I know He's with me.
I hope this blessed you today!
Let us pray for you!
