“Don't think that the Lord is too weak to save you or too deaf to hear your call for help.  If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure. So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols. You are reasonable people, decide for yourselves if what I am saying is true.” Isaiah 59:1; 1 Corinthians 10:11-15

Jesus Christ will never leave those who believe, accepts, follow, trust, and depends on Him in and for all things without a solution irrespective of their pains, locations, crises, and the delays in answer to their prayers and expectations. Salvation does not come with a promise of an easy life or an easy way of living, but it came with a promise of the Almighty God being with you at all times and in all situations and in all locations. It came with a promise that no road is too tough that for God to take you through; no situation is too difficult that He does not have a way out, and no darkness is too thick that God cannot see through it and lead you through. Remember He is God in all ways and in all situations and everywhere carrying out His plans.

The crossfire in your life will end. Job unknowingly found himself in the middle of a cross-fire between God and Satan because of being a man of complete integrity who feared God and stayed away from evil in all of his activities. It was not because he was a successful businessman or had children and was rich. But despite what Satan did to him personally, to his family, his finances, and to his businesses, God still upheld His plans for Job’s blessings, and despite the fact that in his wickedness, Satan destroyed all Job had ever labored for in life, God still restored them and even gave Job much more than before. That is God's plans for you, give you back what you have lost over the years of adversities, restore you back with even more than you were before. Today, right now and where you are right here, you may be on the path of that same cross-fire regarding God’s work, God’s demand, God’s desires, God faithfulness, obedience to His words, personal holiness, and humility, and Satan is coming heavily after you as he did against Job, I want you to know that despite all he will ever do, despite all that you have suffered and will suffer, God will still uphold His plans for your life as He did for Job. The bible recorded the beginning of Job, his afflictions and pains, and the Bible also recorded how Job ended despite all that he suffered. You will end well because of God’s plans for your life, not because of your strength, knowledge, political or religious titles, and position and definitely not because of your wealth. It will end well because God is with you and He is for you.

Job never knew it was Satan’s plot against him for his work and stand on God’s faithfulness and righteousness, but one thing he knew and stood by it was that despite the pains and the sorrows and the loneliness and the rejection, God was still with him. What are your pains? What are your plans for the pains? What are the enemies' plans against you? What are your expectations in life and in the suffering? In every situation, there are expectations from God for those who believes and follows Jesus Christ; there are expectations for those who are strong and knowledgeable and think they can sail through the pains by self-effort, and there are expectations from others also who look on with fear and anxiety. But in all places and in all situations, God is not absent and He is not silent; He has perfect plans for what He will do for everyone. He will definitely do all of them for His name to be known, for His glory to be seen, for His power to be known, and for men to acknowledge Him as God over your life and over your situation. He will make a way, He will lead you through the way and he will crown you with His glory. Men couldn’t believe that Job could be restored and even made better, but they saw him and had nothing else to say but to praise the God he served with all his heart. Yours is coming.
