“For the thing which I greatly feared is come
upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” Job 3:25
One
overcomes their fear only when they begin to walk in it. Job’s first reaction was to regret the day he
was born, that without it he could’ve avoided his greatest fear. He had been
careful not to worship material possessions but to worship God alone. Here he
was overwhelmed by calamities that mocked his caution, and he complained about
trials that came despite his right living. All the principles by which he had
lived were crumbling, and Job began to lose his perspective. Trials and grief,
whether temporary or enduring, do not destroy the real purpose of life. Life is
not given merely for happiness and personal fulfillment but for us to serve and
honor God. The worth and meaning of life is not based on what we feel but on
the one reality no one can take away—God's love for us. Grace teaches us in the
midst of life's greatest comforts, to be willing to die, and in the midst of
its greatest crosses, to be willing to live. Let it be our care to be ready for
another world and leave it to God’s care when He’s just to call us home.
Don’t
think of that which you did not get after praying; think of the countless
blessings He gave you without praying!
