James 5:11(KJV); Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Job went through a furnace of misery, pain and loss. He lost his property, his children, struggled with bodily affliction and looked to death as a merciful alternative(Job 1). He suffered in a short span of time what many people combined would never suffer in an entire lifetime.
But what does the scripture say about the end of Job’s plight?
Our theme scripture calls it “the end of the Lord.” This is the vision that any man of faith must behold in the midst of any form of adversity or affliction.
Sometimes, when people are caught up in the fires of life, all they behold is more pain; more devastation, more destruction. God wants you to see and behold an end with Him written all over it.
Yes, the business is seemingly on a downward spiral, do you see bankruptcy? See the Lord.
Yes, the doctor gave you a negative report about how advanced that disease is. Do you see death? See the Lord.
Yes, your boss has been giving you a very hard time at your workplace and has unfairly accused you before your superiors. Do you see a dismissal? See the Lord.
Some people think that at the end of every affliction is the devil, rubbing his hands with glee. No! At the end of every storm in life is God, His arms wide open, assuring you that the best is yet to come; that you are shining brighter than ever before; that He turns into good what was meant to destroy you.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 12:2, Isaiah 43:2
GOLDEN NUGGET: At the end of every storm in life is God, His arms wide open, assuring you that the best is yet to come; that you are shining brighter than ever before; that He turns into good what was meant to destroy you.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this word. I rejoice in the blessed assurance that You are in charge! You are the Alpha and Omega of my life; the author and finisher of my faith. No matter what I am going through, I choose to see You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

KUMWONA BWANA
Mtume Grace Lubega
Yakobo 5:11: Angalieni, twawaita heri wao waliosubiri. Mmesikia habari ya subira yake Ayubu, mmeuona mwisho wa Bwana ya kwamba Bwana ni mwingi wa rehema, mwenye huruma.
Ayubu alipitia tanuru ya shida, maumivu na hasara. Alipoteza mali yake, watoto wake, akapambana na shida za mwili na akatazama kifo kama njia mbadala ya rehema (Ayubu 1). Aliteseka kwa muda mfupi tu ambao watu wengi pamoja hawangeweza kuteseka katika maisha yote.
Lakini andiko linasema nini kuhusu mwisho wa shida ya Ayubu?
Andiko letu la mada linaiita “mwisho wa Bwana.” Haya ni maono ambayo mtu yeyote wa imani lazima aone katikati ya maadui au shida.
Wakati mwingine, wakati watu wanashikwa kwenye moto za maisha, yote wanayoona ni uchungu zaidi; maumivu zaidi, uharibifu zaidi. Mungu anataka uone na kutazama mwisho ulioandikwa na yeye.
Ndio, biashara inaonekana kushuka, je, unaona kufilisika? Tazama Bwana.
Ndio, daktari alikupa ripoti mbaya kuhusu jinsi ugonjwa huo ulivyozidi. Je! Unaona kifo? Mtazame Bwana.
Ndio, bosi wako amekupa wakati mgumu mahali pa kazi na amekushtaki mbele ya wakurugenzi wako. Unaona kufutwa kazi? Mtazame Bwana.
Watu wengine wanafikiria kwamba mwisho wa kila shida ni ibilisi, na kusugua mikono yake na machozi. Hapana! Mwisho wa kila dhoruba maishani ni Mungu, mikono yake imefunguliwa, kukuhakikishia kuwa bora bado inakuja; kwamba unaangaza zaidi kuliko hapo awali; ya kwamba Yeye anabadilisha kuwa mzuri kilichokusudi kukuangamiza.
Haleluya!

UJUMBE MKUU: Baba, nakushukuru kwa neno hili. Ninafurahia uhakikisho wa baraka kuwa Wewe ndiye uliyesimama! Wewe ndiye Alfa na Omega maishani yangu; mwandishi na mfikiaji wa imani yangu. Haijalishi ninachopitia, ninachagua kukuona. Kwa jina la Yesu, Amina.
