How to face the worst day of your life?
Not always the people who are considered righteous, even by God as the case of Job, do not have to go through bad days. The fact is that we must all learn to face any situation that arises.
Job 1:1
In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
All of us have gone through difficult situations, and I dare say that we have all had the worst day of our lives. Like Job who lost everything he had and suffered to prove his faith.
Jesus himself went through very difficult times as a human being, to the point where the garden of Gethsemane sweat blood.
Luke 22:43-44
43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
However, there may be memorable moments, such as when our Lord was handed over to the Romans and humiliated receiving 39 lashes.
John 19:1-3
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face.
In my personal opinion, none of those moments was so difficult for our Lord, as the one in which he says “Eli, Eli,lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46
This should be for any believer the most difficult time, not to feel that God is with us.
No matter what the situation we are going through, what really matters is what attitude we take before the different problems that are presented to us. Remember that in the life of every Christian it is necessary that we go through various tests, which are what will strengthen our faith.
We must understand that because faith is part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, it is not possible to strengthen it without God's help.
Luke 11:13
If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
The Lord told us "... In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33, as we can see, what God asks is the same confidence that Peter asked him when he walked on the waters and when he doubted he reproached him for having little faith.
Matthew 14:28-31
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
Conclusion
Regardless of the various tests that we are going through or even those that have not yet arrived, our trust must be placed in our Lord Jesus, who promised to remain with us until the end. Every person will be valued for the attitude with which they face different situations and how they are able to get ahead with the help of God. Only those who trust and do not doubt that God always has a purpose in every situation of our lives, is able to come to perceive the peace of God. To thus be a factor of change for others by showing as a reflection the light that illuminates within it.
