Reading: Job 1:13-22.
"I will try and come forth as gold" Job 23:10
When I taught at a Bible school in a big city, sometimes corrected the work of students in a food court while waiting for the train to go home. One day, accidentally knocked my coffee cup, and all the contents fell into my portfolio.
In most large cities, where people who commute to work, there is a quiet and peaceful. However, the noise of coffee to go was so tremendous that did not go unnoticed. Then, a man who was sitting nearby, said loudly: "Worse impossible!".
course, that comment was exaggerated. However, all are afraid a particular issue: the decline economic, death of a child or a spouse, cancer or any other loss or hardship.
The Book of Job is an example of worst impossible. However, Job wisely assessed the role of God in the midst of trials related to losses and poor health: "But he knows my way, I will try and come forth as gold" (Job 23:10 ). This wise statement teaches us two important lessons: (1) That which we fear that happening can be used to test and strengthen our character, and (2) God will provide the necessary strength and comfort to come out ahead.
Hold on to God. He promised to work in your favor, even when everything becomes worst impossible.
Reflection: The living God can take away the fear of life.
