Writing Job 3
Good morning. This chapter is a sad chapter. Job…. a man… has lost his children… his livestock… many of his servants…. and now is sitting in ashes covered in sores from the heal of his foot to the top of his head. How would I feel? How did Job feel?
Let the day perish on which I was born,
Job 3:3
and the night that said,
‘A man is conceived.’
He cursed the day he was born. He did not understand why all of this had to happen. Job was lost in his pain. When I feel the aches and pains in this world, it is so hard to not get lost in it. I have to find a way out of it. Thankfully pains of this world are temporary. I can also remember that as I go through my pains of this world, that if Job, a blameless and upright man, who feared God and turned away from evil, can go through the feelings of grief and despair, then so can I . Working through my emotions are not a sin, it is just human.
God is so Good!!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!
we don’t understand why a lot of things happen to us. Some curl up in self pity some blame God and some rise to the occasion and face it head on. On any given day it could go anyway but it’s OK to be all those things for a moment but then we must turn our faith and life back over to God to see us through. It’s OK to breakdown just don’t stay there 🙏🙏❤
