“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” (Job 13:15a).
The story of Job is one of faith, trust, courage, and determination. He understood the meaning of the phrase, ““whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” Consider everything he lost—including his health. How bravely he took a stand, as today’s verse reveals.
There is no doubt to the testimony of Job’s trust in God. He may not have understood what was happening but he kept on trusting God. Judging from our verse, he had to feel he was a winner either way.
Chances are you won’t face the disasters Job faced. We know he was finally restored and greatly blessed, no doubt, because he persevered through his trials. This sends a message to us today. No matter how bleak your situation may look, trust God. He is still in control.
