Many of the difficult trials Christians go through are modern day “Job Encounters” without their realizing it at the time (Read the Book of Job in the Old Testament if you haven’t). If you are going through a very difficult trial of your own right now, consider the possibility that you might be going through your OWN personal “Job Encounter” where Satan is being allowed by God to “sift you like wheat.”

Keep in mind … the more intense and severe “Job Encounters” are often trials that usually make “no sense” to us. In fact, they can almost seem as cruel and unusual painful experiences that just don’t seem “fair” and “shouldn’t be allowed by a LOVING – COMPASSIONATE God at all.” That’s what Satan wants you thinking FOR SURE!

God exposes and burns away our character flaws (if we let Him), and we often don’t even realize we are going through a “Job Encounter”, until AFTER we have been delivered and healed from our suffering and our trial has passed … and/or until we have learned what God wants us to learn.

Through the purging – refining suffering process, we are becoming PRICELESS GLITTERING MASTERPIECES to HIM! Resolute Christ-like character of persistence, wisdom and determined resolve gets formed in us that is worth more to God than all the material wealth of this world. And WITH FULL CERTAINTY … God is going to reward our suffering beyond our wildest comprehension! (Read: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 And Daniel 12:1-3)

Dear one, keep in mind eternity isn’t just about going to heaven when we die. For those who don’t let their anger against God turn to indefinite hardness of heart toward Him … they will be the ones who REIGN with Jesus Christ through ETERNITY. That is no small matter to take lightly.

Some “Job Encounters” last for a short while. Some are like the pounding waves of the ocean during a raging storm that try to capsize us. Some last for years. Some start at birth and end at death – one’s lifetime.

“If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: If we deny Him, He also will deny us.” – (2 Timothy 2: 12 KJV)
