A LESSON FROM JOB
Today's reading: Job 21-22

"My complaint is with God, not with people..." Job 21:4 NLT

We've all said, Oh, to have the patience of Job.

Or, What a testimony to have Job's faith.

Have you ever said, Oh, I wish I had the gall Job had.

Gall?  Nerve? Internal fortitude?

This verse tells us the secret to Job's ability to see God through the trials.

Job called it as he saw it.

He knew it was all in God's hands--and not in the hands of mere mortals.

Job didn't lash out at fellow soul-holders, because He knew God was the One in control.

We tend to place blame on the ones standing before us, forgetting His plan is what's being played out in our lives.

Do the actions of people hurt us?  Yes.

Do we want to be disqualified from this race of faith for our poor reactions to the sins of others? Not me, how about you?

Is it time we approach the Most High God with our complaints, hurts, fears and doubts? Yes. Nothing we tell Him will cause Him to gasp or catch Him off guard!
