God Is Giving You Back Double What You Lost!

"For I have stayed on Go's paths; I have followed his ways and not turned aside." Job 23:11

If you've ever read the story of Job you know that the enemy tested Job and took everything from him but he still trusted in God. How many times in our lives has something been taken away and we get mad and blame God when we shouldn't because if it was God who took it away He always sends something better in return? Next time something is taken away, let it go, God is sending better. At the end of the book of Job God says, "I gave him back double what he had before." God let the enemy test Job because God knew Job was a faithful servant and could make it through the test faithfully. Take time to remind yourself what's lost is sometimes best to be gone. Let God send you the best things in life. In the will of God is the happiest place you could ever be, and sometimes God takes things away to get you there. Not everyone and not everything is meant to go into every season with you. I learned in high school that most of those friends were taken away because they were there for a season, not for a lifetime. Let God send the right people and right things into your life. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure gold." Job 23:10 "When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!" Job 42:10 "I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you." Job 42:2 "I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown." Revelation 3:11 "Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away." 2 Corinthians 12:8

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
