Today’s scripture: Job 33:26
The story of Job never fails to amaze me.
This faithful man whom God has abundantly blessed loses everything … just
because Satan, the enemy of our souls, challenges God saying Job will curse God
if he loses all he has, including his health.
Job receives dubious “counsel” from so-called friends, and even questions and cries out to God
himself. Yet, never does he “curse God and die” as his wife claims he should
(2:9).
Amazing.
Now, even though his friends’ counsel is not always helpful, one does give a
splash of wisdom in today’s verse, and this wisdom is true for us as well.
When we “pray to God” with sincere and repentant hearts, God does “delight” in
us. That too amazes me. The God of the universe delights in each of us! Even more, we
can “see His face with joy …”
Imagine gazing into your Father’s face. Your Abba, who adores you. Imagine
looking at that loving face with joy.
How can you feel anything less?
