We spent several days and weeks walking with Job through his suffering. Now that we are in the psalms we want to stop and take a breather for what he is telling us about the ways of man vs. the heart of our God. Listen carefully and choose those that resonate with your soul for encouragement, for this is what Job knew but gleaned more after months of suffering and what David learned early in his life. “How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord, who takes great delight in keeping his commands.” On a scale of 1 to 10, how does your obedience scale rate today? Further, “He does not fear bad news. He is confident; he trusts in the Lord. His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear” That was Job and it is David.
In sharp contrast we recall Job’s friends. They chastised Job, but in all of the time he was suffering, He trusted in God. Today, there are many who chastise because they do not know the God of creation. Listen to what Paul noted: “For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse.”
As I asked, on a scale of 1 to 10 where are you on the scale of believing and obeying the God of creation?
