“Oh that I might have my request; and that
God would grant me the thing that I long for.” Job
6:8
In
Job, Ch. 6 & 7, we see his response to Eliphaz, his friend, as well as to
God justifying his restless countenance and even his willingness to die in
it. Claiming man has no means to
question his integrity or to deal deceitfully with him or for God not to
forgive his sins and set a mark against him for his transgression. Man often
becomes despondent in his confusion; unable to find answers he’s prone to find
fault in that around him. One must
remember God is not the author of confusion, but of peace (1 Cor 14:23). God will not allow pain without allowing
something new to born of it (Isa 66:9). Often we have to forget what we want in order
to understand what we need. Even in confusion, it’s one’s hope in God that allows
them even in pain to smile; in confusion, to understand; in betrayal, to trust;
and in fear, to continue to fight.
Never
confuse the will for your desire with the will of God.
