God Spoke to Job

You can’t talk about hard times without referencing the Bible’s Book of Job. Considered to be the oldest book of the Bible written, it addresses the enigma of suffering. Why, why me and even why not me are all questions stirred up throughout the book.

Near the end of it all Job hears from God and asks him some questions. In Job 40.6 He speaks up “from the eye of the storm.”

As we enter another month of pandemic limitations, I find myself needing to press my spiritual and psychological reset button (of sorts) and listen for the Word of the Lord from the eye of the storm. And sure enough, as He has promised, I see God at work in the eye of the storm!

From sharing these devotional thoughts to contributing tithes and offerings, from checking in on neighbors to praying for the will of the Lord to be done; from contributing to our PELC food drive, to sharing encouragement to those discouraged…and so much more; so, so much more. God is blessing us – from the eye of the storm!

Okay, saints of God we can do this. We will turn to God daily, hourly sometimes, minute-by-minute if God so calls. We will be careful to keep from contracting the virus and thereby bless others and ourselves. We will pray for those who have the virus and for the medical personnel who are striving! And we’ll do this today and then the “today” that’s next.

We will do this as by the God who gives us strength and faith to hear him – from the eye of the storm!

Remember who you are and to Whom you belong,

Karl
