Job 17 - Day 1022 (link to reading)
Scripture: Job 17:9 Commentary (thewarehouse.blog): There’s a saying, “That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” I’ve always appreciated this statement as it resounds with such truth when it comes to disasters in our lives. But we also have to embrace where we are so we can move forward and come out the other side stronger than before. Job declares here victory will be found for the righteous. He has a flash of hope and faith in the middle of his situation. It’s a flash he will cling to and help him make it through to the end. For what he’s speaking toward is that of endurance. Holding fast to his inner convictions will help him find his way even when what is happening does not make sense at all. As his situation did not change over night, he recognizes his strength will come not through the situation necessarily changing but God making him stronger through it – moment by moment. Application: While we walk through "the valley of the shadow of death", God is with us so we do not have to be afraid. The reality is that life can be hard but as Job declared, “The righteous will hold to his way and he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.” We just need to hold on to the Righteous One. Prayer: Lord have mercy... Comments are closed.
