Having a cup of coffee with good old JOB!
What would I do to be able to sit and have a cup of coffee with Job?? I would first of all write down alot of questions I would ask him. Granted I have only read 21 chapters of his book, I still can not believe what this poor man has gone through. I would first ask him questions about his so called friends. I would just love to know where he met these friends of his. Have they been friends for years?? I can see myself sipping on some coffee while he was giving me answers. Not only would I question his friendship with these guys and how he was able to put up with their so called "words of wisdom "speeches, But the main question would be, "Job, how did you do it"?, How did you survive such a major storm in your life? What was it?? Did you really know that in your heart that God was taking care of you? I would love to see the look on Job's face as he was hearing these questions. What would be his answers though?? I know there would be some silence and a sigh coming from Job because he would have to revisit a hard time in his life. I have learned that revisiting past devastation's is required when you are going through the process of healing. I can not imagine losing my children like Job did. I imagine that would be a very hard topic to talk about. We all know at the end of his book, God restored everything Job lost, but I get a feeling that deep down in his heart, he was hurting for the fact that he lost his children at the beginning of his storm. I can go on and on with my thoughts, wonders, and questions, but bottom line is that , God is good! Our circumstances may change, we may loose everything and not see the light at the end of the tunnel, but God remains the same!! I have shared it before, my heart aches for this man, but God blessed him and saved him.
