Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(22nd December 2024)*

TOPIC: The Tough Man Who Persevere

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

*Message*

When making attempts to fight believers, one of the core things the devil aims for is to make us doubt God's word and promises. This was the strategy he used in taking our first parents out of God's Will, and it's something the kingdom of darkness have mastered over time.

Listen, it doesn't matter what you are currently experiencing, you must decide to never doubt God's word over you. In Jeremiah 29:11, the LORD declared: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

You see, when you are in the midst of an unpleasant circumstance that is not related to the glorious future God has promised, the devil will try to take your gaze away from God's promises of a successful future and make you focus more on the issues of today. The problem is, you will turn the current situation into an idol, and you will gradually begin to doubt what God has said.

But you see the man Job, he was a pretty tough man we should learn some things from. He was doing very great, basking in the blessings the Lord had granted him. However, there was a change of season, and he started experiencing hardness. When satan introduced unpleasant occurrences to Job, those things only pushed him closer to God rather than taking him away from his Maker.

'In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.' (Job 2:10). Job did not doubt the goodness of God, but even took advantage of those difficult times by riding upon their wings to become a more spiritual person.

*Prayer*

It doesn't matter what today looks like, I choose to believe all of God's promises to me.

The one that wakes up as one drink with wine!

Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep, like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor. Psalms 78:65 Papa awake drunk! Son turn water to Ṣepẹ! Family of Ṣepẹ!
