Day 159 of 365: His deliverance

The story of Job is interesting. Here's a man that has everything and gives everything to God. Then along comes Satan and he takes it all away. Unfair? i don't think so. The fact that Job did everything right made Satan challenge Job's desire to please God. In a nutshell, bad things happen to good people because they are doing something right. As Christians, we are well aware of the battle between good and evil. Opposites that are constantly in disagreement. And if Evil wants to act out his nature, it does so on its enemy: Good. And if Good does what it's good at, then Evil has to try to foil that plan. i strongly believe that if you are going through hardships, there has to be something that you're doing right. i firmly believe this because i feel like i'm at one of my lowest points, if not my lowest in life. i don't know if it's because of the recent series that i'm going through with TNT, or something else that's not made clear to me, i know that if bad things happen, something good was done. And we know how the story of Job ended. With much more than one can imagine.

So if that's the case, what am i worried about? What's bothering me? With a clear head, the one thing that should bother me is my lack of faith and fellowship with God. The lack of thanksgiving and the attitude of Job. No matter what, discipline yourself to honor God regardless. Firmly believe in His deliverance and remember that He only intends to prosper us, not make us suffer. A sword can't be crafted if the metal isn't put in the fire and bang into shape.
