Job 1
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Surely, there are times in our lives where we feel like God abandoned us. Or when things are not going well, we think as if God is punishing us or maybe God hates us.
When things are not going the way we want them to, do we have the faith to still worship God and say "Blessed be the name of the Lord"?
I pray that we all do.
When things are going well and God blesses us with marvelous things, even things we didn't ask Him, we don't question Him "Why are You blessing me?"
So why should we question Him when He allows trials and problems in our lives.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
God is love.
If you are a Christian, you should know that He is your Father.
He wants what's best for us. We may not always understand, because of we do, then we'll be like God, all-knowing.
He knows the beginning to the end. He wants us to trust Him and believe that what we are made to experience is necessary to be Christ-like. Isn't that our goal?
It's not going to be easy to live by faith, so why don't we ask Him to increase our faith and praise Him in this storm? To praise Him while we are in the wilderness?
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
If you are reading this and you are being tested by the Lord, if you are experiencing hardships and you feel so down, I am praying for you.
Remember, this is not our home. We all know how it ends. We'll be with Him.
2 Corinthians 4
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
May the grace of our Lord be upon you.
Amen.
