Read Job 19:8-27
When we experience pain or loss because of something that is beyond our control, we may feel like God is our enemy. The anger and confusion we may feel dont need to destroy our FAITH. We may never grasp why God allows such trials, but at such times we need to wholly trust in God, who is sovereign and will not allow us to suffer more than we can bear.
Job felt this way, too. He said, "God has blocked my way so I cannot move. He has plunged my path into darkness. He has stripped my honor and removed the crown from my head. He has demolished me on every side, and I am finished. He has uprooted my hope like a fallen tree. His fury burns against me;he counts me as an enemy. His troops advance. They build up roads to attack me. They camp all around my tent.... My close friends detest me. Those I loved have turned against me. I have been reduced to skin and bones and have escaped death by the skin of my teeth...Oh, that my words could be recorded. Oh, that they could be inscribed on a monument, carved with an iron chisel and filled with lead, engraved forever in the rock"(Job 19:8-24
Despite job's confusion and pain, he was able to conclude his complaint with a statement of his faith in God:"But as for me, I know that my redeemed lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God!I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought!"(Job19:25-27. God is on our side, even if we can't see it right now.
