Did you sleep well last night? I only slept 3. 5 hours last night. Had a 5am conference call that stretched across from the US east coast to India. I must admit that it was not easy but it was worth every minute. I then joined a prayer meeting at 6.05am. Breakfast at 7am with the Word and this journal. What a tough day it is going to be. But not as tough as what Job went through.
Job 7:21, Why then do You not pardon my transgression, And take away my iniquity For now I will lie down in the dust, And You will seek me diligently, But I will no longer be.
Can you feel Job's pain? Read the whole chapter. He could not sleep. His mind is filled with nightmares. He is now wishing for death. He sounds tired with no relent for his suffering. But the one thing I appreciate about Job during this time is that he continues to speak to God. Why? He recognizes that God is ultimately in charge. God can change the circumstances. I need to learn to keep turning to God when I am in suffering. Sometimes we try everything else but God.
Father, it is you alone. No one else can touch me like you.
