—Job 3:1-10
by: Dale E. Rood.
Maybe you have had times like this. With everything seeming to go against you, you wonder why you were born. There can’t be any purpose in this. When you understand the nature of Satan, you can understand the purposelessness of all that seems to be happening. In this moment, Job displays his real feelings. He is letting it all hang out. Sometimes we need to cry out to God this same way. God is not going to punish you for being real. Rather, in the process, he will reveal himself in truth. Cry out in your moments of anguish to your God, just as Job did. Be honest. God respects genuineness.
