Nothing in life is more difficult than being able to endure suffering or difficult times.
« As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. »(James 5:11)
The word of God declares blessed those who endure patiently (in Greek, they are those who persevere, patient until the end), on the authority of the Lord himself (Matthew 24.13; Luke 8.15).
The case of Job is more eloquent: After having waited a long time in suffering, Job was restored and rehabilitated by the Lord.
We are therefore not right to let suffering carry us away, exhaust us to the point of abandoning us in tears, or pervert us.
The word of God reassures us that behind every suffering, the Lord has a happy outcome in store for us, a happy outcome.
Let’s be brave!
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us the strength and courage to endure with patience.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
