Morning by Morning, July 2, 2025 - “Yet Will I Trust Him” Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind and Your desires in my heart, as I seek to follow You today. ...
“Yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15).
Job didn’t understand all that was going on around him and even within him. There were things around him and within him that needed to be addressed. Ultimately, he would turn to You in repentance, humility, and faith in the climax of his heart-breaking, soul-shaking struggle, declaring “I repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:6). And You would restore him and re-establish him beyond his comprehension (Job 42:10).
But through his struggles against his spiritual foes and even his self-righteous friends, against his overwhelming grief and mind-numbing shock of all he was going through, somehow he kept his eyes on You. Not matter what happened or what was to come, even if it was from Your own hand, he declared in his heart and with the words of his mouth, “Yet will I trust Him.”
“And the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning” (Job 42:12).
As much as we suffer and endure on our own journeys through this broken and fallen world, where You are at work in us through all we go through, no matter the source, You use it all to work together for good, as You remind us You love us and we are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). You use it all to make us more like You (Romans 8:29).
It could be said for almost all of us, certainly for me, that we have not suffered and endured as Job. Thank God. But at the same time, we have a witness from the journey of Job to seek a heart like Job. That’s a heart that says, “No matter what comes, no matter the source, or as they say in the South, ‘Come hell or high water,’ ‘Yet will I trust Him.’”
Yes, Lord. Give me that heart, I pray. Give me that heart to say, “Yet will I trust Him” no matter what. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
