In the presence of his friends, Job began to talk to God, contemplating his situation. Job’s body was deteriorating, and his hope for a satisfactory life was dwindling. Even though he longed to die, he knew that if his body died, he wouldn’t live again until God destroyed the entire earth, but he knew his spirit would return to God. He had no scriptures to read to tell him these things, yet he was wise enough to understand God’s truths. Job understood that a tree might regrow, being cut off, leaving a stump, but a man cannot regrow; man gives up the ghost and is buried, to be seen no more, but how did he know his spirit would return to God? God must have shared a word of knowledge with him through the Holy Spirit, which happens to us occasionally. The Bible subtly mentions it in the scripture that I’ve included. Job sorted things out with God, speaking to Him openly to clarify his understanding. If you are perplexed about your situation, have a conversation with God. As you talk to Him, He will give you answers, which may be part of your discourse. In other words, the words coming out of your mouth may be how God answers you. It works; I do it all the time.
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. Job 14:13-15
