The weight of silence in the air can be unbearable for our souls, making us feel like the world has gone quiet, and we’re left alone with our thoughts and questions. You may feel like nobody can relate to the inner struggle, as questions about hope and the unknown constantly alarm you. The lingering darkness seems to mock you and make you wonder if you’ll ever find a way out.

 Even his friends turned against him, pointing to his afflictions and saying, “He has sinned.” Despite everything, God remained with Job as a constant presence amid his struggle. Job never lost faith in God, even when everything he knew was gone.

We cannot trust or rely on what we see, hear, think, or feel. A veil surrounds God and His works. In time, He will reveal His glory in those impossible situations.

“For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:8-10 KJV

Keep holding on, because God will not leave you there. This trial has been permitted because He believes in you. Beloved, when this dark trial is over, you will find yourself bearing much fruit!
