When we see those not walking in the way becoming prosperous, and not seeming to struggle as we are, it’s easy to get discouraged. In some truly desperate situations, may even wonder if it’s worth it to keep trusting and instead be like the world.
Here’s the thing. The adversary will absolutely give to people all that they want if it means keeping them from a relationship with God.
But it won’t last. It will all be taken.
The hardship you’re going through? God will redeem your situation. He sees the whole picture and is preparing you for something. Trust in Him and His ways. Know that the things most worth having are worth the wait.
He does all things for your good and His glory!
He will rescue you from six troubles;
Even in seven, evil will not touch you.
In famine He will redeem you from death,
And in war from the power of the sword.
You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
And you will not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
You will laugh at violence and famine,
And you will not be afraid of the wild beasts of the earth.
For you will be in harmony with the stones of the field,
And the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
You will know also that your tent is secure and at peace,
And you will visit your dwelling and fear no loss [nor find anything amiss].
You will know also that your descendants will be many,
And your offspring as the grass of the earth.
You will come to your grave in old age,
Like the stacking of grain [on the threshing floor] in its season.
Behold this; we have investigated it, and it is true.
Hear and heed it, and know for yourself [for your own good].
Job 5:19-27 AMP
