How much is to much

 

 

     We all heard of and know of Job, But do we really want to follow his lead in how to act and take courage in the Lord as he did? When you or I have a hard time, it is are old nature that want everyone to feel sorry for us, We feel like woe is me. Not saying that we hurting inside. But why do we turn to others for support first? How can they help us? All they can do is make us feel a little better for a small time. They try to comfort us with kind words, some listen, other are ready to find and fix the problem, most time they like to put the blame on us for doing something wrong. So they being to try to help us by finding what we did wrong. When it could be just God letting Satan test us?

     Job was a well off man, he had a lot of kids, cattle, and other animals. He live in a good place and had others to service him. But this all stopped in a day. Job lost most of everything good to him, and this is where we need to look at his strength and see Job got it from.

     Did he turn to other people? Did he turn to his wife? No he turn to God. We have seen what people can do when they lose a big lump sum of money, and if a close family member dies. it is a very hard place to be in, but if we turn to God who gave us all that we had in the first place. Don't you think God will give us the strength to get through it? Then wont God provide for us with all that we need again.

     We are to mourn, cry and feel down, but only for a little while. As we learn by reading the KJV Bible, there is a season for all things, But God is watching over out for all his children. God will not let anything happen to us, and will make us a better child for God.

     Job lost most he had. Then his friends came to help him. Which they really did not, they just made him feel worst. Then his wife told him to curse God. With help like that I am surprise he made it through it at all. Sure he got mad at God, Job want to show how great he was, he want to prove himself to God. But in the end, we all know we can not come close to God. As Job found out toward the end. God is in control of all things, not some, but ALL. That even mean Satan can not touch us with out God letting him, But when God does let Satan test us, it with conditions. God will never let Satan have open season on us. Why you may ask? Well it is because of Jesus Christ, he die for you and me! So we can be one of God's children. Only through Jesus Christ will God save us and protect us.
