When worst gets worse.
The story of Jacob is worth reading. Here is a man who had so much and then things seemed to get so bad.
He lost his best son Joseph whom he thought to be dead, and then if that wasnt enough, a man in Egypt takes his son Simeon as prisoner, and to make it all the worse he demands that Benjamin should also go down to Egypt. In Jacobs eyes GOD WAS AGAINST him, nothing was going right! Sadness and sorrow filled his old aging life when it should have been one of blessing. But in all this Gods LOVE and MERCY shone through the dark cloud at the end. Not only was Joseph alive but God had used all Jacobs sadness to allow Joseph to be the sustainer of a new born nation (Israel).
Can we see how it works for us to?
Are things getting worse in your life?
No sign of hope?
No longed for companion?
No job or little cash?
Debts may be?
Well behind the darkness of present conditions God is there and He will do such great things for you and me, in a latter day. So take heart your hardship is but for a short season.
Bless you john
