God
will allow anything else we try to stand on to crumble so that we understand He
alone is our true foundation. There is nothing wrong with close
friends, recreational activity, or any other outlet you may have. However,
these can become problematic when we run to these before we run to God. This stresses us out even more because we
are attempting the impossible. We try to find true solace in
something temporal. We try to find all the comfort and love we need from other
people who have just as many issues as we do.
Job learned that the hard way, but it was worth it. The
reason his friends and family could not help him was that they were just like
him (in a way). They were all just human beings with finite understanding of
the world. I’m sure Job was hurt by the experiences he had, but I’m also sure
he learned that there is no other
person to turn to in life except the Lord. Someone or something may
have let you down, maybe even tremendously. When this happens you have to sing
to yourself, “Though no one
join me, still I will follow…”
Keep up the great work, Cuz!! The Lord is using you greatly to minister to people all over the nation and the world!!!
