The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part.

- Job 42:12, NIV

We often find ourselves holding onto whatever possible as we press through the struggle. However, in the midst of it all we often look towards the former and lament…weeping for a better tomorrow while still hanging onto what has passed. Unfortunately it is at this point that “we” separates from “I”…often casting doubt upon the direction in which you are going because “we” simply just can’t/won’t go any further. However, if you are willing to simply obey the voice of the Lord and adhere to His call, then the fulfillment of His promise will more than compensate for the sacrifice of your struggle…but are you willing to wait for the latter blessing in spite of the former hardship - Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise (Hebrews 10:36-37, NKJV). Is this journey truly worth of the hassle or are you simply chasing windmills? Know that God is Who He says He is and will do what He says He will do, but do you believe you are who He says you are…and that you can/will do what He says you will do? Difficult questions for difficult times, but the bottom line is that God has established your way and all that is involved in it…working and orchestrating “all” things for His good…you simply have to trust Him - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). Today continue to press while you are in the “middle” of “it” knowing that God’s blessing awaits you at the finish line.

BE BLESSED!
