I will be still and know You are God

I finished reading Job this morning…I was getting annoyed with the long chapters of Job complaining and his friends “rebuking” him (if that’s the right word to use in this context). I was really just waiting to get to the part where God finally speaks… What does God have to say about suffering?

It seems to me like God never gave reasons for Job’s sufferings. All He did was ask Job more questions like “Can you ask the sun to set in the east? Can you give a horse a mane?” In passing, it appears that God’s reply is so UN-comforting…But I don’t think this is true. When you’re going through struggles and trials, God is still there. He is still God…I think there should be a wonderful peace that comes with knowing this…Peace in suffering.

I don’t want to disappear, but I need a break. I’ve been feeling detached from family and friends…as one friend said it “You don’t look…all there.” But it’s september: a new beginning (in the school year). Entering year 2…I still don’t have it all together.

I must let go and let God be in control.

Change is inevitable.
