While They Were Speaking …
“He will not allow me to catch my breath, But fills me with bitterness.” (Job 9:18)
Do you ever feel like that sometimes? We call those periods “while they were speaking” seasons also taken from Job (1:13-19). They can be hard times to get through as you feel like everything is stacked up against you but, if you listen closely, you will sometimes hear God speaking as well. He may be silent for a time, leaving you to wonder why this dark time but He will appear. He longs to see you come through this full of joy and victory. His hand is not short. His timing just isn’t always ours.
If you’re going through one of those times now, I encourage you to look up. Your redemption draws nigh. If you are faithful unto death, He will give you a crown of life. Don’t listen to those on earth who are speaking, telling you all the bad things that have come upon you. Listen to the One who is speaking in the midst of your trial. He has not forsaken you and that is something we can be thankful for!
