Job 30:26-27 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
God's Word, more often than not, hits me right where I live. Seems like every time I think I am going to get ahead on projects around the house, I am hit with a flare up that sets me back on my heels so I don't feel well enough to do what I have planned to do. I was feeling sorry for myself and thinking about this the other day.
When I came to read my Bible today I could not believe how accurately Job describes in detail where I have been the last couple of days.
Job 30:26-27 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.Have you ever been there? It's not fun, I can tell you. After a while you begin to wonder if your life will ever be "normal" again, whatever normal is. But I am so glad that Job throws in a bit of hope. A few days ago I read this gem:
What a wonderful hope to look forward too! And we know from Revelation 21:4 that He will wipe away all tears, and sorrow and pain and death. What a day that will be!Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
