In looking into the book of Job it is interesting to note that Job's confidence was in the Lord

The book of job is written during the era of Abraham and his immediate descendants or thereabouts.

Job was in need of patience with God leading him into a deeper respect and awe of whom He is  thereby understanding that God was truly worthy of His trust

Job found it imperative to be aware of the Lord's guidance rather than the opinions of his friends and advisers

To be aware of God and His Kingdom and the extent thereof is of utmost importance

When we encounter people in such need we need to be aware that the compassion of Christ is of utmost important along with an understanding heart regardless of the circumstances

As God is allowed to do an inner work in our heart and soul we will find the promise He has intended nigh at hand as we are willing to reach out with the compassion and mercy of Christ to whosoever

We might ask why does there have to be suffering, pain and heartache?

In being aware of the circumstances Job encountered consider the Old Testement tabernacle.

The outter court has the brazen altar which represents the Cross of Christ

There is the laver which represents the cleansing of the Word daily whereby we can enter in

It is only as we have entered in that we are under the protection of the Holy Spirit with revelations being inspired by the Holy Spirit and at this point our experience is ongoing but alas how oft if circumstances arise we dash out to deal with them instead of having a hearing ear to that which God would impart and thus follow His leading and guidance along with appropriating His wisdom.

The Word of God transforms our thoughts whereby we can enter in and so encounter that which is relevant in the eyes of God

ABIDE in CHRIST with HIS WORD RESIDENT and ACTIVE in your HEART and SOUL

IT IS A RELATIONSHIP ORCHESTRATED BY GOD BUT WE MUST CHOOSE TO SO RESPOND IN EVERY SITUATION AND IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE

Our motives are to be pure with our prayers being sincere

THE HOLY SPIRIT PROMISES TO WORK ON OUR BEHALF WHEN WE SEEK GOD IN PRAYER

Romans 8: 26-27

IS LIFE FAIR?

In a world where there is murder, child abuse, terrorism and various aspects of evil we need to draw nigh to so encounter and appropriate the benefits available in our

LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST

No other name can meet us where we are at but the name of Christ who has stood in the gap on our behalf and reaches forth as we would so seek to encounter Him

BE REFRESHED TODAY BEING AWARE OF HIS LOVE AND CARE ON YOUR BEHALF

May God's blessing rest upon one and all

Job was a man of faith, patience and endurance
He was known to be a generous and caring individual
He was extgremely wealthy
 
Job allowed his desire to understand why he was suffering
overwhelm him and cause him to question God
instead of trusting Him
 
Lessons to be learned
 
Knowing God is better than knowing the answers
God is not arbitrary or uncaring
Pain is not always a result of punishment
 
James 5: 10-11 states
 
Brothers, as an example of patience, in the face of suffering,
take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
As you know, we consider blessed those
who have persevered.
You have heard of Job's perseverance
and have seen what the Lord finally brought about.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercy
 
As God's intention toward Job was good
so our Lord's intention toward us is good as well
 
The Holy Spirit gives life and wisdom to man being
our Creator and Sustainer
imparting divine wisdom that keeps us
rational and balanced
