The iniquitiy of life

"If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales! It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas - no wonder my words have been impetuous." - Job 6:2-3

Even Job, a man who was blameless and upright, had to endure many trials and tribulations; it is often very hard to imagine why God would act in this manner to this child of his whom he so endears - it almost goes against human's natural sense of justice on how a man so historically righteous as Job, would have to endure so much suffering on Earth. And perhaps this is where man's greatest shortfall lies - that no matter how much we think we know, we can never come close to fathoming God's way. Perhaps, this is a timely reminder of what God has said, that " For my thoughts are not your thoughts; neither are my ways your ways." (Isa 55:8)

PRAYER:
"Abba Father, your omniscience makes only but a foolish man. Father, I can only continue to pray to you each day that by your mercy and grace, you would grant me the wisdom to understand your thoughts and ways. Oh Lord, just give me a glimpse of your timeless glory. Heavenly Father, let there be not an ounce of arrogance or pride in me that will hinder me from getting to know you intimately. Above all, grant me Lord, the faith and strength of your heavenly plans for your little one. Amen."

“So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others. He took care of them on every side.” – 2 Chron 32:22

The people of Hezekiah have been threatened with the words of Sennacherib many times before his attack on them; and when he eventually attacked them, God delivered the people of Hezekiah from Sennacherib by annihilating Sennacherib’s soldiers. And God took care of them on everyeverything they had needed, God provided for them. And this is the greatness of our God. side. He didn’t just take care of their physical well-being, but also their emotional, mental, financial well-being, in other words,

Abba Father, we give thanks to your infinite love, mercy and generosity upon those who love you faithfully. When things in our lives seem to be going out of control, Lord we know can trust in your faithfulness to deliver us from pain and evil. Amen.”
