IN THE SUFFERING

Job 23:3

If only I knew where to find God, I would go to his throne and talk with him there.

When Job was facing the most daunting problems he had ever faced, he had nowhere to go and nobody to lean on. His body was covered with boils, and the only way to rest or sleep was to lay in ashes. Regardless of Job's woes, he still desired to go to God and fellowship with Him. The President of The Navigators once wrote, “If you are suffering without succeeding, then someone will succeed after you. If you are succeeding without suffering, then someone suffered before you.” Job showed us how to survive despite suffering deeply. Job learned how to be blessed beyond his own imagination by going to God's throne despite the pains that he was forced to deal with. Follow Job’s lead and go to God when you’re suffering. Are you suffering today in any way? Have you taken those pains to God?
