THERE ARE DAYS

Today's reading: Job 29-30

"I cry to you, O God, but you don't answer me. I stand before you, and you don't bother to look. You have become cruel toward me. You persecute me with your great power. You throw me into the whirlwind and destroy me in the storm." Job 30:20-22 NLT

To compare any of our toughest days against those of Job are like comparing our first world problems to those of poor, destitute folks living in third world countries.

No comparison.

But there are days, wouldn't you agree?

There are days when God doesn't seem to listen.

There are days when the hits just keep on coming.

There are days when we feel as if God has turned His back on us.

There are days when we don't feel He is being fair.

There are days when it feels as if God has grabbed us by the scruff of our neck and thrown us headlong into the storm.

On these days, let's do what Job did--continue to call out to God.

Continue to speak to our Savior.

Continue to pray to the One who does hear, does love, does answer.

Because we know He does--despite how we feel.
