Today we will be dealing with trusting God in difficult times Bible verses. The scripture houses diverse verses of the scripture that admonish us to wait and trust God during difficult times. John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” The nature of humans is such that always want peace and tranquility. No man loves pain or tribulation. When we go through difficult times, our soul will long for an escape from that tribulation. That’s when seeking the face of God and expecting miracles to happen fast. But the scripture has told us that in life we will face tribulations, we will go through pain, but we should be of good faith because Christ has conquered all.

During the difficult time, it always seems like God is late or He is not there at all to listen to our prayers. We pray fervently but it seems probably the prayer is not getting to heaven or there is no one in heaven to receive our prayers. It takes grace to keep trusting God in difficult times. Let’s take the life of Job for example. The accuser (Devil) went to God claiming it was because God had blessed Job that’s why Job remained faithful. God had to take away His blessing and protection upon the life of Job. He was inflicted with pain and suffering, he lost his children in one day, he lost everything he had, and was inflicted with terrible disease and sickness.

Job lived in this difficult time for so long that even his wife begged that he curse God and die instead of living in pain and suffering. But Job still trusted God despite his challenges and in the end, God came through for him. We must understand that in a difficult time, God is never late. His responses are timely. The scripture said in my time I will make things right. Let’s take a look at some scriptural verses that will help us trust God in difficult times.

And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed.

20. James 1:2-4

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Today we will be dealing with 20 bible verses about faithfulness to others. God is faithful to us, we must be faithful to others. One of the biggest problems in society today is the lack of faithfulness among men. Public office holders will lie to the people just so they can vote them into power, after the election and they are announced the winner, they will turn into a beast. No man wants to take responsibility anymore, no man wants to be committed to serving others, people are no longer loyal, honesty has become a thing of the past, responsible Christians are becoming very hard to find.

Husbands are no longer faithful to their wives and vice versa. The world is rapidly degenerating into a place of lawlessness as moral decadence becomes the order of the day. We owe ourselves a duty of care. We are created in the image and likeness of God. We must embrace faithfulness. Although it is impossible to act like God in certain ways, however, we can be faithful to one another. An employee can be faithful to an employer by discharging his duties effectively.

Faithfulness brings commitments. The problem today is that no one wants to be committed. God is committed to serving us regardless of what we do His faithfulness to us is unwavering. Our Faithfulness only lies with the people we love and care about. And who are the people we love, they are either our family or kinsmen. Our faithfulness only centers around the benefit we want to get from a person. Faithfulness is an act of love. It expects nothing in return. The world will be a better place if men become faithful. This explains why we have highlighted 20 bible verses about faithfulness to others.
