Job 13:1-14:22
Sometimes,
Lord, we need to say, “The less said, the better.” We read what Job
said about his ‘friends’ – “Oh that you would keep silent, and it would
be your wisdom!” (Job 13:5). We feel for Job. From his ‘friends’, there
was nothing but one accusation after another. What was he to do? What
are we to do? We turn to You, Lord. Can we look beyond our suffering? Is
there something better? – “If a man dies, shall he live again?” (Job
14:14). We thank You, Lord, for the answer of faith: “I know that my
Redeemer loves … Even after my skin has been stripped off my body, I
will see God … ” (Job 19:25). Help us, Lord, to look to Jesus, the risen
Lord, to hear His Word of triumph: “Death is swallowed up in victory”,
and to offer to You our joyful praise – “Thanks be to God who gives us
the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:20,54,57).
