Suffering Devotional || God's Sovereign Choice

𝐃𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋: Job's story begins with a remarkable truth: God chose him as a faithful servant. Before any trial came, God declared Job's righteousness. This reminds us that our relationship with God is founded on His choosing us first. "We love Him because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19). When storms arrive in your life, remember they don't define God's love for you—His choice of you in Christ does. Job's faithfulness wasn't earning God's favor; it was responding to favor already given. Today, rest in this truth: you belong to God not because of your performance, but because of His sovereign grace. Your identity is secure before the trial ever begins.
