Going through a trial that no one understands? You are in good company. Here is a partial list of some who were misunderstood; Noah, Joseph, Job, Moses, Hosea, Jeremiah, Zechariah, and Jesus Christ. (And I have to add that many, if not most, of the godly women in Scripture were misunderstood and taken for granted by the secular society.)

My favorite example of a misunderstood trial is Job. No human, not even Job, was told why he was going through the trial—it remained a mystery. But we are not Job. God has revealed more to us than He revealed to Job. Consider these three points:

1. Job chapter one and two reveals that Job’s trial was to settle a dispute to the heavenly host;
2. Ephesians 3:8–11 reveals that the purpose of God’s Spiritual Family (the church) is to reveal His wisdom to the heavenly host;
3. Ephesians 6:12 reveals we are still involved in that heavenly dispute.

So be encouraged; it’s not that no one understands your trial it’s only that no human understands your trial.
