Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Let your hearts not be troubled, God is in control of everything. I do believe this is a powerful revelation that I found in the book of Job.
Job was a God honoring, upright man. A man that feared God and did right in Gods eyes yet Job was allowed to suffer.
Why? Well in this case it appears to me that Jobs ultimate reason for suffering was so that his story could encourage millions and millions of others through the ages since it was recorded in the bible.
I know that the story of Job has given me a stronger faith because of the message it contains; God is in control of everything even when from our own perspective it may look as if God doesn't even exist.
Now when problems come I can boldly claim with the Psalmist:
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.
A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.
Be encouraged in all circumstances, God is in control of everything AND He loves you!
God has a great plan for your life. See you soon. Love, Pastor Kent
