Suffering, Challenge, Trust

Real complaint to God, brings real clarity from God.

Job sees. He sees his own limit, weakness, lack of power and certainty and he sees God’s unlimited goodness, power and commitment to the world. Job sees God as Giver:  everything the Lord lists here is gift – gift for life, gift for human life, gift for Job. 

In Job’s suffering the sun rises, the clouds form the rain comes the stars shine the wind moves and life is sustained for Job. 

Nothing has changed when it comes to the gracious sustaining gifting of God….. Paul says;

Romans 12:3

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
