Oxymoron

Job 1:21 Naked I came from my mother's womb, naked I'll return to the womb of the earth. God gives, God takes. God's name be ever blessed.


When I use the terms, hot ice, controlled chaos, open secret, and organized mess, alone in a crowd, you might respond, huh? Do you want to make that a bit clearer to me, so I know what you're talking about. Those are all apparent oxymoron's.

If you live very long, there will times in your life that some things won't make sense.

As you read the book of Job, you will come to understand even more, that we walk not by sight, but by faith. That the just live by faith. That without faith it is impossible to please God.

As you read along there may be more questions than you have the answers for.

My grandpa use to work puzzles, and a rubik's cube that was very hard to work through. In the beginning he would work long hours working through it to a solution.

In life, you and I will come to some curves in the road that we will wonder, "how am I going to work through this dilemma? It may with your job, in your marriage, with your kids rebellion, or with your health, or it may be with  your outlaws, I mean your in-laws.

Job had 3 friends that came to him in the nightmare of his suffering and pain. They just knew  they had the missing piece; they had the answer to the oxymoron of his life.

They said," surely there must be some hidden sin in your life. They should have continued to stay quiet like they started out in the first 7 days. Unless you have walked where another man has walked, I would advice you to think long and hard before you speak. There is death and life in the tongue, and so many have said things to a friend in their nightmare that was far from being life.

So what do we make of this story of Job?
Most of us will face some incredible waves and winds that may come out of nowhere.
Remember these things.
God is for you and not against you. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof.
Be confident of this very thing, that He that has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Friend , Never, Never, Never give up, even when life looks hopeless, As long as He is on the throne, He is standing up for you today, cheering you on to the finish line. He will complete what He has started in you.

By the way, before it was over, Job was blessed with twice as much. Is it worth it to keep pressing? You better believe it is, this life is but a vapor, one day will live with Christ in heaven forever and forever .Yes, Satan will be cast into a bottomless pit. Wow, forever will rule and reign with Christ.
