Job 1-2; 42
Try to make time this weekend to read the entire book of Job, for only then do you really see the true extent of Job’s honest dealings with God and his steadfast faith in the face of adversity.
Then, honestly look at your own life and your own dealings with the Lord. Think about your past . . . those times of adversity in your own life. Were you able to look up, look ahead, and look within?
Where are you now in your journey of faith?
If you are climbing over the ragged rocks of adversity, take His hand and let Him lead you through. In the midst of it all, it is His touch which comforts and guides.
If the road ahead is smooth right now, get ready. Watch out for falling rocks!
