DIRECTING IT ALL TO GOD

DIRECTING IT ALL TO GOD Are you GIVING Your whole life to God? Are you letting God DIRECT your whole life? Let me tell you about A person who DID just that He was SO GOOD-he even Was TESTED by Satan God points out to Satan Just how good JOB is-and for SURE Job is to be “TESTED” and “PROOFED” By Satan “Have you NOTICED my servant Job? ….....” Job 1:8 Job is PROOFED by Satan- He stands TALL through it all- Phenomenal suffering-sickness-LOSS- Grief-and the mockery of others- EVEN his own wife Could I do that? Could you do that? It is NOT likely-but I HAVE to tell you There are times in life WHEN I have actually Felt like Job- I am SURE You have felt that way too” “His wife said to him 'Are you STILL Maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die'” Job 2:9 “Job replied, 'You are TALKING like a foolish woman Shall we ACCEPT GOOD from God And not trouble?'” Job 2:10 What a FAITHFUL SERVANT Job is-and IF you have a spouse I hope he or she Is MORE SUPPORTIVE than his was And if you are SUFFERING- I hope you have BETTER FRIENDS Than Job-who all questioned him- About what he did wrong What about us? Do we have the FAITH Of Job? We are told That Job never sinned He KEPT his faith But Job does question-complain- Argue-fight back-get ANGRY-and DEMANDS answers and proofs from God Who wouldn't? Wouldn't you? He DIRECTS it ALL to God And then the Lord SPEAKS: “THEN the Lord spoke Out of the storm He said: 'Who is this That obscures my plans With words without knowledge BRACE yourself like a man I will question you You will answer me WHERE WERE YOU When I laid the foundation Tell me if you understand ….....'” Job 38:1-4 Dear friends-WE ALL Go through- Our own time of suffering MAY you have The PATIENCE of Job May you have The FAITH of Job May you DIRECT IT ALL To God-as Job did And may you be found innocent- And not sin-and be REPLENISHED- A million times over-as Job was DIRECT IT ALL TO GOD- HE is always FAIR Dear God-make my heart- make OUR HEARTS TRUE In Jesus' name Robert P.
