STILL HE KNEW
Today's reading: Job 19-20

"God has blocked my way and plunged my path into darkness. He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. He has demolished my on every side, and I am finished. He has destroyed my hope. His fury burns against me, he counts me as an enemy. His troops advance. They build roads to attack me. They camp all around my tent." Job 19:8-12 NLT

Interestingly, Job as defeated, discouraged, depressed and depleted as he feels, does not turn away from God!

He hurts, but continues to seek the One who heals.

He feels so alone, but continues to seek the Comforter.

He openly admits his questions, but does not stop turning to God for the answers.

He sits sorrowfully in his tent, surrounded by the enemy army, but still trusts and hopes and leans on and loves the God of Angel Armies!

Where ever we are. What ever situation we find ourselves in. Despite who has hurt us, ignored our pleas or has let us down--we can still, always, again and again turn to God.
