Hello steemchurch brethrens and welcome to today's topic I have titled "Joy Comes In The Morning". In other words, you may see this as endurance. One of my best Bible passage is the part that says "weeping may endure for the night but Happiness and abundant joy comes in the morning". What does this tell us???. It does tell us that there is always something at the other end if and only if we can endure for a moment.
A lot of people expect to go through life without passing through any form of issue or jumping any type of hurdle. Well for those that it has worked for, ThankGod for you but I do know that if you have been called into a life of purpose, the evil ones and Satan will want to do everything in their power that it doesn't work. But it will no matter how they try because you have been called by a greater power. Yea, a greater power.
Look at the life of Job. He was a man so meek, doesn't cover his neighbours property, doesn't cover his neighbours wife, loved his family and his children, severe God with all His heart, was wealthy and had possibly anything you can think of. He was so upright in his dealings but do you know what Satan was planning, he thought Job was doing all those things especially the praising God part because he had everything.
Therefore, he sought to make life miserable for him. Of course he went to God and told Him that there was no upright person in the world(He wanted to be cunning)...God told Him to check out Job and he immediately replied that he was so upright because God gave Him everything. He quickly said, take everything away from him and see if he will still serve you.
This is the point where I quickly correct the notion that God brings suffering on people. God doesn't. God's greatest desire for us (His children) is that of peace and to bring to us an expected end. God only allows those temptations to come because He trusts you. It's that simple .
God told the Satan to try and see but he should not take his life. The 😈 devil did all that was in his power to finish job up to the point of inflicting him with diseases. The wife even at a point adviced him to curse God and die instead of the sufferings he was passing through. But job will never blink. Yea he won't.
Then finally Job kept faith with God and the promises of God and the devil was ashamed. God restored everything to job in several folds. That's the joy we experience after coming out from trials . God amazes us with His blessings. He mesmerizes us with His undying love because we believe in Him . Joy surely comes in the morning.
Look at the case of Jesus Christ. God sent His only begotten son to come die. He didn't just come and they killed Him, He lived a normal life like everyone .He Faced denials , He Faced all what we face in smaller magnitudes right now and more but He still held on till the end to fulfil God's plan. That's the drill. Now if I may ask you, where is he right now??. Christ is sitted at the right hand side of God. What could be better than that??. Trust me nothing .
Nevertheless I have said all that to tell you this. There is no situation you are passing through right now that someone else hasn't passed through in even greater magnitude. But just hold on and don't let go. Its going to be ok. Joy will definitely come in the morning.
That's the much I can take on the topic "Joy Comes In The Morning | Jesus and Job Case Study".
Thanks for staying put till the end
