This is devotional thought number 56 in our devotional series, “Stewarding the Heart.”
“And Job spake, and said, Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.” (Job 3:2, 3, 25, 26).
I cannot imagine Job’s turmoil when he was faced the with most difficult trial of his life. One day he received the news that all of his children, livestock, and earthly possessions were destroyed. While he yet grieved his loss, the Lord allowed Satan to afflict him with boils from head to toe. Job could not remember any unconfessed sin that he had committed, which made things even more difficult for him. If he could have, he would have repented with the hope that the judgment of God would be removed from him.
On one of many depressing days, he loathed the day he was born and wished he could just rest in the grave. He was not suicidal, just weary. It seemed too much for him to bear, but the Lord was with him. The Lord was close by Job’s side even though Job could not detect His presence.
After the many days of trial had finally passed, and after he had already endured the foul pessimism of his wife and so-called friends, along with the strong answer the Lord had given to his complaints, he praised the Lord. He said, “I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” (Job 42:5, 6). Though the Lord called Job righteous in the beginning of his ordeal, by Job’s own admission, he was still lacking. After having experienced the trials that brought patience when their perfect work was done, he could see more clearly than ever before. He knew the mercy of God on a level beyond comprehension. He now could see what he could barely perceive before his trials. Because of this, he changed his mindset from the verses above. Instead, he praised the Lord.
Yes, it was a hard revelation for Job, but it was well worth it. He finally had a better relationship with God than ever before. When we face tribulations, we should read the words of brother Job to encourage us to be faithful. If he did it, being human, so can we.
