Never drop out of your principles

Even if your condition is unbearable, remember that God is with you

Many people know about Job`s history and just Jesus suffered more than Job because He absorbed our suffering. His pain got to its limit, physical or emotional, pain from the soul, despair, and loss. Job was the richest man from Middle East concerning his economical condition. In verse 19: 7 of Job, he says that if he cries out concerning wrong, he is not heard. His condition was so difficult to see whether anyone paid attention on him, he cried aloud for help, on the suffering he underwent, but there was no justice. His path was closed. In many situations in the past, we lost friends. People quit friendship. That`s why we can`t give in our faith, perseverance, confidence in God. If you are king of the cattle, God is your friend and if you don't have a chicken in the land, God is still your friend.

Either in pain or health when you claim, God will hear you. Job was counted among the dead people and He felt that way. No man or woman can make miracle in your life, but God of the Bible can.

Job thought nobody heard him, but God heard. With such communion and intimacy with God, Job, who received everything from God, got annoyed with the pain and the anguish. And among us, who never went through it? Of course our grief is ours, and his is his. Who among us never panicked before irreversible scenarios and screamed, like Job? Some people say they have prayed, I screamed and haven't seen it yet, but you have to wait, because you'll see the answer soon. Job suffered convicted of an incurable disease, stinky body full of worms, with his wife moving away, as well as everyone else. His body was like a living corpse. His brothers and kids mocked at and fleeing from Job, all close friends and those he loved ran away from him and became against him. Job was skin and bones and teeth had enamel, the rest, everything was gone. He wanted compassion of friends, the one, who helped so many people. In this situation, Job recognized God; he said he would see God, who saw God in his life. When you recognize God, He becomes present in your life. I'm adventurous, talk about God by experience than seen and lived. Job said that his eyes would see God. In chapter 42, you and I can see, in verse 10 that God restored the prosperity of Job, changed his luck and he received twice everything he had. His brothers and sisters and all who knew came back and ate with him at his place, celebrated his victory and consoling. Indeed, many people celebrated what it would have the land of Job. For a man counted among dead ones, he lived 140 years yet. Everything came in good condition again because he never gave up on his principles, procedures. He didn't give in God. If you cling to someone, Church, God is the Father, in Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit and in the sacred Word, because in any circumstance, God meets you. Don't give up on God in your life.
