In my reading of the Bible, I am currently reading through the book of Job. Today I read part of the book of Job and I am reminded of why I like the story of Job so much. While Job was going through so much (including having his friends scorn him) he still would not curse God. In todays reading Job was commenting about how God has turned him over to the enemy, Satan, and how much pain the enemy has caused him, yet God was still his advocate and that God was still there for him.
When we go through the trials of our lives (typically nothing like what Job went through, although still painful), would we still be able to give praise to God amidst the pain? I pray that we would all be able to do this and that our faith is strong enough in God to know that he loves us no matter what happens to us. God allows us to go through trials and to be in pain, but that does not mean he does not love us! Never forget that!
