Job 1:21

The Suffering of Job

My last post Will you be Left Behind? was in January. In some ways, I feel like I have left this blog behind as I have not felt like writing much since then. If you have followed this blog, you know that I write as a way of dealing with life or when I feel the Holy Spirit talking to me. This post is a little bit of both.

Last night, as I tossed and turned trying to sleep my thoughts, went to the book of Job. It is not the first time I have thought about Job, but last night was a little different. Last night I kept thinking about losing everything and if I did would I handle it how Job did? I would like to think I would, but deep down I am just not sure.

If you have never read the Book of Job the above overview from The Bible Project should give you a basic understanding of the book. Just like Job, I have questioned God about the events in my life. I truly do not understand why some things have happened. I believe this is why my life verse has become Isaiah 55:8.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.

Isaiah 55:8 AMP

YAHWEH,
I can not begin to grasp what you see being outside of time. What seems like forever for me is nothing to YOU. I know that you only have my best interest if I can just stay out of your way and let you guide me. Please, Jesus, guide me to where you want me to go. Let the Holy Spirit speak within me. Open my ears so that I may listen.

If you do not know JESUS as your LORD and Savior, it is not too late. I pray that you will come to know him before it is. Follow these simple steps to come to YAHWEH.
