The best is yet to come

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

“So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. Fornow he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys” (Job 42:12 NLT).

The best is yet to come for your life. Your best years are right before you. The suffering and the testing of your faith have only made you wiser.

When you let God make the suffering you’ve gone through work for your good, then you can be sure that there is something better that is to come.

We get knocked down in life, we get hurt and we face giants that want to defeat us. However, the true victory is not found when we overcome, but in the middle of thestorms we go through.

Job was a man who went through hell, but in the middle of this process he persevered until conquering his victory. God is not the author of evil, but He is an expert at making what was meant for evil work for our good.

After the season of testing that Job experienced, God blessed with even more abundance than before. If Job lived a hundred and forty years, then we can aspire live to a hundred and twenty years.

I don’t know about you but I don’t want to pass away because of sickness, I want to pass because of good old age, after living “a long, full life” just as God promised Job.

“Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren. Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life” (Job 42:16-17 NLT).

Your past doesn’t matter, you are only a product of it, you are not a slave to your past. Therefore,do not look back neither complain about what you have suffered. God did not call you to be a victim, instead He called you to be an overcomer.

Today I encourage you to decide to have faith to believe that the best is yet to come for your life. Make all the suffering you have gone through a lesson learned and get up every time you fall. For everything that it cost you to become an overcomer does not compare to the glory that is to come.

“So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. Fornow he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys” (Job 42:12 NLT).

Think about it:

What are you expecting in your life?
What are the giants you need to determine yourself to overcome?
