One of the several temptations we must avoid is becoming prejudicial in our dealings with people. Our judgments of others are hardly accurate since we don’t always have all the information concerning them. Not all the people going through tough times are suffering the consequences of misdeeds. In our previous meditation, we learned of the storms that assailed as Jesus crossed the sea with His disciples. Neither Jesus nor His disciples had any sin in them. That was the reason we concluded that storms are no respecter of persons.

Invariably for the righteous, many troubles are many testimonies in waiting.

Another illustration of this comes clearly from the life of Job. He was righteous through and through. The foundation of his business empire was actually righteousness. Satan thought otherwise; he thought Job feared the Lord because God had blessed him. No! Had goods and greatness been the reason Job sought the Lord he would have gone back the moment he lost his goods. It was a miscalculation! Job’s righteous foundation was not shaken, and he eventually bounced back. His restoration was twice over what he had lost. This leads to the truth of our text: the righteous may have many troubles, but God will get him out of them all. Invariably for the righteous, many troubles are many testimonies in waiting.
