My friend Job

"When I get to heaven, I wanna go find Job, I wanna ask a few hard questions, I wanna know what he knows. " - Sara Groves (What I Thought I wanted)

I'm not gonna try to preach about the book of Job, but basically it's one of my favorite books of the Bible, and when I have a hard time, I turn to the book of Job. Cause basically, I've got life so easy compared to Job, and it reminds me that God's in control of all situations. Even everything Job went through, and every little thing I'm going through now.

13"If you prepare your heart,
you will stretch out your hands toward him.
14If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
15Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish;
you will be secure and will not fear.
16You will forget your misery;
you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
17And your life will be brighter than the noonday;
its darkness will be like the morning.

18And you will feel secure, because there is hope;
you will look around and
take your rest in security. [ Job 11:13-18]


"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted." [Job 42:2]

Ahhh I just love those verses. :) There is hope and God is unstoppable.
