Job 23:8-24:5
Lord,
life can be so confusing. We see Job, trusting in You – “he knows the
way that I take … ” (Job 23:10). We also hear him saying, ” … the
Almighty has terrified me … ” (Job 23:16-17). where, Lord, do these
negative thoughts come from? Do they come from You? No! They come from
Satan! This is not “the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of
wisdom” (Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7). This is the fear that comes from
Satan What are we to do when fear threatens to overwhelm us? What are we
to do when fear threatens to destroy our trust in You? We look to You,
Lord. You “have not given us a spirit of fear.” You’ve given us Your
“Spirit of power and love.” You give us “a sound mind.” Help us, Lord,
to keep on looking to You. May Your “perfect love cast out our fear” (2
Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:18).
