I was just sitting here meditating on what it must have been like to be in Job's shoes, during those awful days. Days when I'm sure many of his friends may have thought to be a life changing experience. Times when it seems that all hope and hlp is gone. The old saying goes that "you don't kick a dog when he's down". Isn't that what these close friends were doing? How many times in our own life are we not subjected to maybe some of the very things as job was? Do we not know someone who has lost a family member, Lost their home, lost their posessions?How do we treat these people? Are we showing the love of Jesus Christ to them or sre we under our breath saying, well if He or She would have acted different in this or that area it would not have happened.
What did Job do to deserve these things that God allowed to come on him? Nothing. Job derserved none of it but God allowed it to build his faith. To me job has my favorite saying that I am always trying to pattern in my life. "Though God slays me I will trust Him."
Do I still have attacks that dampen my determination? Yes I do but I also know that even though our carnal minds might try to get the best of us. We are so much the better if we have Jesus connected to our lifeline.
I don't know where my rambling thoughts went to but always remember when you think you've got it bad. Job had it worse. Blessings to you all.
