The Christian named Job, who was a contemporary and lived during the time of Abraham, cried out, ‘Though He slays me, yet will I trust in HIM.’ Job was laying in dust and wallowing in sackcloth and in ashes, scraping himself with broken-pottery to relieve himself of some of the irritation and pain he was suffering from being covered in sore-boils and eaten alive by maggots which thrived upon and consumed the decaying skin and sores of his emaciated flesh. Job also being afflicted, responded with hope, envisioning eternal life, and said, ‘And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.’
The apostle Paul, who suffered many things himself, said these words to encourage us: ‘Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.’
‘For many’, King David wisely observed, ‘are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.’
This book is written in the year of our LORD, 2021, to encourage Christians to endure the storms of life… for Storms must come. In this book, I obediently encourage God’s people ‘to stand!!!’ ’And after having done all to stand, ‘ I encouraged them ‘to keep standing.’
This book is written to embolden faithful men and women to endure the storms in these perilous last days, before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ in the air, surrounded by clouds, at the call of the Angelic Trump, which only those who believe will be able to hear.
In the book of Job-Job informs us that ‘a man that is born of a woman, live but a few days and those days are full of trouble.’
Hope you enjoy and be blessed by this book!!!
As you patiently persevere, on planet earth, preparing yourself for Everlasting–Eternal life; AFTER THE STORM.
