‘For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge.’
Job 9:15
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
It’s.
By.
His mercy.
That.
I’m.
Still.
Here!
This morning.
As I.
Read.
Job 8.
And.
9.
I noticed.
How.
Job.
Recognized.
God.
Is.
Powerful.
And.
Does.
As.
He.
Pleases.
‘God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered?’
Job 9:4
Also.
Job.
Understands.
There’s.
No.
Need.
To.
Plead.
Your.
Case.
With.
God.
And.
Ask.
What.
Are.
You.
Doing?
Because.
He.
Already.
Knows.
What.
We.
Are.
Going.
Through!
‘If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’’
Job 9:12
Instead.
The.
Best.
Course.
Of.
Action.
Is.
To.
Ask.
God.
For.
Mercy!
‘Let Your mercy, O Lord , be upon us, Just as we hope in You.’
Psalms 33:22
Look.
We.
Won’t.
Understand.
Why.
God.
Allows.
Us.
To.
Suffer.
‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;’
Proverbs 3:5
But.
When.
We.
Do.
Suffer.
And.
Experience.
Things.
We.
Don’t.
Understand.
Pray.
For.
Mercy.
Because.
God’s.
Mercy.
Endures.
Forever!
‘Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever.’
Psalms 136:26
I pray.
That you.
Learn.
To.
Keep.
Your.
Hope.
In.
Christ.
Even.
When.
You.
Suffer.
Beyond.
Your.
Understanding.
And.
Ask.
The Lord.
For.
Mercy.
Because.
His.
Mercy.
Endures.
Forever!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
