“However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him. He does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.
See how happy is the person whom God corrects; so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty. For he wounds but he also bandages; he strikes, but his hands also heal. ”
Job 5:8-9, 17-18 CSB
Jobs destruction is so complete and unimaginable! I really hate it…his friends have a couple helpful things to say: “go talk to God about this!”
I am so thankful, that God does not shy away from hard conversations with us. He doesn’t pretend like everything is fine…at the same time, He doesn’t always give us the answers that we want to hear. Yet we can be confident that He does all things for our ultimate good.
Lord, help me to trust You in every situation, especially when I cannot see the why or the end result. You have proven Yourself to be faithful thousands of times in scripture and dozens of times in my life. Give me the strength to have an immovable faith in You!
