Has there ever come a time when you just wish you could sit down with God and ask Him what is going on? It seems that this is where Job is at the moment. Job wants to just ask God why all of this is happening as he sits in ashes and listens to his so-called friends belittle him. However, even in the midst of this, he understands this truth and clings to it: “Even if he slays me, I will hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.” [Job 13]
Is this where you are today? Do you still cling to that hope or is your hope diminished?
