Pandemic! Natural Disasters! Homeless Children! Political Divides! What's going on?
Job wondered the same thing. Although we CAN think of things we've done to contribute to the problems in this country, Job didn't do anything wrong. And yet he suffered.
For many days, he sat in shock, pain, and anger, looking for answers while listening to friends who didn’t believe in his innocence nor get why he kept questioning God. Although the Lord did not directly answer Job’s questions, His very presence quieted Job’s need to know. https://www.bibleprayers.net/2021/01/job-prays-through-to-god.html
May God fill us with His Holy Presence, calm our fears, and empower us to work together for peace and unity in our families, church, country, and, indeed, the world, in Jesus' Name.
