Job 1:20-22 - At this, Job got up
and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and
said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD
gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be
praised."
Job knew where his strength and help came from,
so he chose to worship and praise the Lord.
In all his hurt and despair, he chose to spend time with the Lord and reach out to Him.
He took his eyes off his loss, off his sorrow and chose to look to the Lord.
Instead of allowing his flesh to take control of him, he chose to allow the Lord
to have full control of the situation.
Hear what the Lord is saying to you:
Tough times will come, and they will go.
Nothing but My Word will last forever. There’s no need for you to spend precious time
stressing over what you’re going through.
Stop worrying about what’s not working.
Take your mind off the world and trust Me.
Instead of worrying give it to Me,
and enter into a time of worship and praise.
Don’t allow this problem to overtake you.
If you spend time in My presence,
I will give you the strength and wisdom
to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
When you seek Me first in everything,
no matter what it is, all your needs will be met.
Pray to Me and know that I am the answer.
Isn’t that what Job did? He worshipped and gave it all to the Lord.
And we all know what the end result was don’t we?
Job was strengthened beyond human understanding and the Lord restored double to him all that was lost.
Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you
Job 42:10 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
