There the Weary Are at Rest

there the weary are at rest.

Job 3:17

Even though Job likely did not have any of the Bible as we know it today, he understand that God has a reward for people who are faithful. He was in an extremely difficult time of life, and he was looking forward to heaven. God sometimes allows us to face difficult times. It helps us rely more on Him. It helps us remember that we're not here to stay. It helps us wish for heaven. As long as we trust God, even those difficult times can make us better. "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God."

Thank You, God, for the difficulties in life. Thank You even more that You are there to help us through them and grow stronger in them. Help us not to resent them or become bitter, but, instead, to grow stronger as we face difficulty with Your help.
