Fri 11am ET Bible study, Prayer Request, Book recommendation, and more

 Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship,

"As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." James 5:11 

Earlier this week, I had a chance to reflect on Job's story. I realized that what we all are facing is far from what Job went through. Can't you imagine being in Job position? Brothers and sisters, remember that "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Cor 10:13

I pray that we do not "lose hearts" and continue to put our hopes and dreams to God as Job did so that God can see our faithfulness until the end of our lives.
