The enemy thought he could sift Job like wheat, but God knew him, and even though he had lost his children and wealth, and his health was in shambles, He expected him to recover. How far down have you gone? Have you gotten to the end of the road with nowhere to turn? Job was so far down that his friends didn’t expect him to return from it, and harassed him, but Job defended himself and rebuked them for their harsh words in his time of need. “Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?” Job asked God to show him his sin, and thought God might be punishing him for his folly as a youth. We know that wasn’t the case, but Job didn’t know. Is your trial a direct result of your sin, or is God allowing you to be tested for faithfulness? Did you pass the test? If you are still being tried, stay in close contact with God, even if it is every moment of the day, and don’t give up or give in. If Job could recover without cursing God or blaming Him, so can you. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. Job 13:15
