Isaiah 61:8-9 - Suffering and Blessing

Life isn’t fair. As Christ followers we will suffer. Maybe our suffering will be as persecution. Maybe our suffering will be in watching the wicked prosper while we struggle. Maybe it will be through the refiners fire as God molds us for his purpose. Or maybe we will suffer because of our own stupid mistakes. Suffice it to say, regardless of the reason, we will suffer. In spite of that, we still have our God and we know who he is. He loves justice and will reward his people for their faithfulness in suffering.

“Everyone will realize that they are a people the Lord has blessed” Isaiah 61:9b
