Reading: Job 1:1–22
Additional Scriptures: Psalm 17;
Luke 21:34–22:6
The book of Job
is God's inspired answer to the issue of suffering in life. Again, in this life
we may never fully understand all the whys and wherefores, but there are some
conclusions that we can reach based upon what God has revealed in His word.
Whatever happens, God is still there, He is still in control, and He always
cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). He may not necessarily remove the difficulties that
we face, as in the case of Paul's thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:8-10). However,
He will bless us as we have need and finally glorify us, promising that if we
remain faithful until death we shall receive the crown of life (Revelation
2:10).
Bless us, O God, in this holy season, in which our hearts seek Your
help and healing; and so purify us by Your discipline that we may grow in grace
and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.[2]
