“My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;l I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!” ( Psalm 57:7).

When we speak of wealthy people once there lived a man called Job. It is said, “He had seven sons and three daughters, and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East” ( Job 1:1-3)

Howevever, fate befell Job one day, when Satan pleaded for his blood and cried, “stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face” ( vv 11). Suddenly, the man who had it all untold fate was at his door. After loosing all his property came a messenger, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you” ( vv 18-19).

But down and in agony, Job ignored all and responded: “I will continue to trust God even if he kills me” ( Job 13:15).

This story ends well because Job’s fortune would finally be restored. Like Job, you too might find yourself in a hopeless situation full of woes. But because of your steadfast faith, God will ultimately vindicate you in good time!

Prayer today: Lord Father God, maker of heaven and earth, for whatever challenge I may face, may my faith in you remain as steadfast as a rock, because you will vindicate me and take all the glory, this I pray in Jesusu’s name!
