Man of Endurance
Listen
Welcome to this brand new day that the Lord has given us!
One of the characters that most of our churches don’t talk about is Job, a man of great endurance!
James says endurance is essential for our faith to increase and he points us to Job. Many folks think that our endurance should come from a place of persecution but Job went through a demonic attack and he endured through all of that pain and suffering.
God allowed suffering in Job’s life but He was also kind and merciful to him as well.
Can it be that God is kind to us but still answers don’t come to us at the right time and things don’t go as we expected it to be?
James says we need endurance in these kinds of seasons. What does it mean to have endurance?
An athlete while running a race gets tired on his way to the finish line but the ability to press on and keep going and finishing the race is endurance.
Job didn’t have the presence of the Holy Spirit, he didn’t have a mediator, an encouraging church or even the Word but he still endured.
Then how much more should we have endurance when we have all of the above?
I hope this podcast helps you to build up your perspective of enduring in times of difficulty and uncertainty and I pray that God’s mercy and compassion will meet you as well as you endure.
Your are blessed!

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
