At the beginning of the book of Job,when one disaster after another is happening to this godly man,on receiving word of one disaster,his servant says,/The fire of God is fallen from heaven/.I wonder what I would think if I like Job was told these words, if like Job I was suffering. We may well ask what have I done to deserve this,Job was a godly man,the Lord had blessed him,he was a man of great wealth,and prosperity.He did not let his prosperity go to his head,or touch his heart,he maintained a godly relationship with God,and had his children's spiritual well being at heart.Yet we read these words,/The fire of God had fallen,/what would think?,would you reject those words?,resent them?,
yes even reject God,you may say God is good all the time,these are not the words,to be associated with a good God. Consider the words of Job,when he heard of all the disasters that had befallen him,/the Lord gave,and the Lord hath taken away,blessed be the name of the Lord[1v21],and then we read,/In all this Job sinned not,nor charged God foolishly[v22]
Believe and trust,through stars and suns,
Through life and death, through soul and sense,
His wise, paternal purpose runs,
The darkness of His Providence,
Is starlit with Divine intent.
A prayer...../Dear God we bow to Your perfect will,in Jesus Name . Amen/
