They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness”
~ Lamentations 3:22-23
The faithful person learns through adversity that life's challenges are sent to grow us out of our understanding that our words of praise for God are sufficient to guarantee our security and well being. Our Father invites us to listen too, and follow his guidance when our troubles become impossible for us to handle alone.
Despite losing his fortune, family, and most of his friends The Prophet Job remained faithful to The Father trusting Him to provide for all His needs. The Father ensured that Job lacked for nothing over many years, Job fortunes were restored the result of the good prophet following The Father's advice in all matters.
“God does not love us because we are valuable. We are valuable because God loves us.” ~ Fulton Sheen
Trust in Our Father's love for us is always rewarded filling our life with a growing awareness that in Our Father's perfectly calibrated timing, the faithful person receives all that The Father has promised them, His gift to us for having shared our good fortune with those sent to dine with us at Our Father's banqueting table.
“The same everlasting Father who care for you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day.
Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it…” ~ St. Francis de Sales
