What a testimony it is to God's sustaining grace when we persevere under trial and temptation. Job was about as prime an example of this as one might find in the Scriptures. Then again, of course, there was the Son of God who, as usual, really showed us how it was done - and did it on our behalf. Are we, by any chance, being tried and tested. Are we sore broken in the place of dragons, and covered with the shadow of death? If so, let us take heart! We are not the first ones! We will also not be the last ones.
Just like we can look back on David, Job, and Jesus Christ who remained faithful in the furnace of affliction, maybe we can serve as an inspiration to saints that come after us, and find themselves tried as we are. Let us hold fast our profession of faith, no matter what, and enjoy the eternal rewards!
