You Will experience the Joy of Victory and Receive the Greatest Reward!!!

Scripture: Job 1:8 "Have you considered My servant Job, there is none like him in the earth?"

When God spoke these words to Satan, He was expressing His full confidence and trust in His servant, Job. God's trust was so strong that He allowed the hedge that was around Job to be lifted, but He also limited Satan's actions against Job. Job went through a lengthy season of loss in every area of his life and his patience was challenged in every way. Yet in the end, Job's steadfast faith prevailed against his hopeless situation. Satan was defeated, God's confidence was justified, and Job received his reward.

Everyone has different issues to face in life. One struggles with finances, another with relationships, some with health, and others with death itself. Hebrew 12:1 tells us that there is a race that is set before each of us. We are not allowed to choose our circumstances or the particular race that we will participate in. God is sovereign and He chooses our battles at His discretion. We must patiently endure the challenge, knowing that God will never put more upon us than we can bear. Whoever you are and whatever you are going through right now, you can be assured that you were God's choice for that testing.
He knows your heart and He has faith in you.

God has good plans for you and His thoughts towards you are much higher than you can imagine, but you must run your race with patience. You must discipline yourself and expect to experience hurdles in your path. You cannot allow yourself to be distracted by the glory that you receive or by the pains that you are forced to endure. As you run your race, you are to lay aside every weight and every sin that seeks to burden you down. Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith and He is to be your great example, as He was able to endure the cross and despise the shame. His goal was to defeat Satan and His vision of victory kept Him from giving in to the temptations and evil devises of the devil. You must consider Him and the things He endured so that you do not become weary and faint in your own mind. God has great confidence in you and He doesn't want you to give up in the middle of the race. Run with patience until you catch the second wind. In the midst of the race, the Holy Spirit of God will fill you with His power,
You Will experience the Joy of Victory and Receive the Greatest Reward!!!
do not become weary and faint!!

May He Bless You and Keep You Today!

With Great Love
IN HIS SERVICE
