READ the book JOB--I read this passage from my devotion book and it gave me some ideas on how faithful God is..so here is something i wrote that i hope will bless you:)
Hi this is a continuation of faith...You know when we read the book of Job you may be wondering: "Where is God in all this? Isn't He a faithful God?"In modern days, we pray and plead and yet millions of christians around the world suffer and die of cancer and diseases and some persecuted for their religion... So we always ask...GOd...WHERE IS YOUR FAITH??
Well, if you have those kind of questions just like everyone does, and sometimes doubt the faithfulness of God...then i have to tell you, you whole perception of God's faithfulness is really wrong..i myself have problems to when things go wrong...
To some of you, God's faithfulness always looks like answering, healing and doing-providing...some of you even think in return for your good works, God will give you respond faithfully, but that my friends is a misconception: Job suffered so much but he was a very righteous man..(compared to most of us)..And yet he had so much pain in his life..WHERE IS GOD?
At the end of Job's life, he saw God and he said 'I had heard of you but now my eyes see you"..at the end He saw the faithful god...The God who showed up...He showed his faithfulness by showing up...His faithfulness is more of a presence than of a provision..
Throught your problems you may say: WHERE IS GOD? but don't fret my friends if you start to lost hope in the Lord..Because GOD IS A FAITHFUL GOD..AND HE WILL SHOW UP ONE DAY AND HIS PRESENCE WILL BE GREATER THAN ANYTHING MATERIAL YOU CAN GET ON THIS EARTH!!
know that God is always faithful.. BUT WILL YOU DO THE SAME??
+ AMEN
