Dear Christian, Would You Stand For Christ Even In Bad Times?
Life is not all about good days or good times only, there are also bad times. Though we all don't pray for bad times or bad days to come but when we experience any we should not be bitter but praise God.
I really love the attitude of job in times of his predicaments. He was never perturbed by all the happenings in his life. Satan tried all he could throwing at him all the fiery darts.
Job could have blamed and cursed God for He was the one who permitted satan to have a way into his life but praised Him instead.
Then Job stood up, tore his robe, shaved his head, fell to the ground, bowed very low, and exclaimed: “I left my mother’s womb naked, and I will return to God naked. The LORD has given, and the LORD has taken. May the name of the LORD be blessed.” Job neither sinned nor charged God with wrongdoing in all of this. Job 1:20-22
Job truly qualifies for the bible description about him to be that he was a man of integrity, the one who is perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Man can fail at anytime but in the case of Job God had an absolutr confidence in a man that he will never fail Him nor give up on God no matter what comes upon him.
Can God have such confidence in us too? that we will stand for Him irrespective of what we wil go through?
Not so many Christians will be able to. Many Christians have still not understood what it entails or means to be a Christian. Being a follower of Christ comes with suffering for Christ sake.
You will be persecuted, insulted, accused and hated by the world and your family. Satan will throw everything at you just to make you lose your salvation.
Blessed are you if you will endure every suffering or hardship for Christ sake for great is your reward:
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Mathew 5:9-12
Never lose your faith even when the difficult days come. For if we experience the bitter part life, it strengthens us. Thank you for sharing with us.

The bible describes Job as the righteous man among all the people on that land, that is why God allows the devil to test him. And lo and behold he passed through that temptation.
we could all be saved for the grace.
Glory be to the Lord.
Life is easy when we’re upon the mountains! But how things change, when we’re down at the valleys! But we do not loose faith because we’re never alone.
The God on the mountains ⛰ is still God in the valleys! The God of the day is still God at night!
Thanks for the word @collinz, it’s been a while brother.
