Have you ever felt like Job? Well, I certainly have had my days. Several years before my estranged wife and I married I had an even worse situation occur. When I married my wife I saw a light at the end of a very dismal tunnel. She’s gone now, but the light remains. The situation now is much different. For one thing, I am in a different place than I was then. Of course, I wasn’t being divorced based on a skewed version of the Word of God either.

There are many things in this world that are not forseen. Losing my wife was one of them, but I’ve certainly had others and there are times I think of Job, and what he went through. Of course he still had his wife (”curse God and die” I believe is what she told him) but she was still around. Fortunately I haven’t gotten any boils yet.

What all this rambling comes down to is simple. God is there and He has not forgotten us. Through this situation I have had no choice but to come closer to Him. He is all that I have left. A Christian man, and one that I respect, once told me that “Jesus didn’t burn you” and he’s right. Jesus didn’t - people did - and people always will. Don’t let the circumstance in your life dictate your faith. They do not go hand in hand. He is there and He is love.

Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust in Him. Job 1:4-5

He has risen.
