Tonight for worship Eric talked about Job, sharing with us what he read this morning.
A part of what he read really popped out at me. After Job is tested his wife says to him "Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!" Job replies, "You are talking like a foolish women. (interesting that he doesn't say she IS FOOLISH!)Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?"
It is so easy to be greatful when things are going well, so much harder when things are not. Tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of the plane crash that took the lives of 9 members of my friends family. How do you press on and see the goodness of God in ALL things? I can only imagine what Job went through or what my friends family continues to go through on a daily basis. Clinging to the hope of heaven and the promises God has given in His Word seem to be the only answer. Continuing to praise the Creator, the One who knows the answers to our questions, the One who sent His Only Son to die for us....
Gratitude is the other way to keep on going on....
