Searching for God in all things |Daily Post #1|

A Reflection on Job 35

“Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out; they call for help because of the arm of the mighty. But none says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night, who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’" Job 35:9-11 🌍

Elihu’s reason is right in the majority of cases. The great cause of a Christian’s distress, the reason of the depths of sorrow into which many believers are plunged, is simply this — that while they are looking about, on the right hand and on the left, to see how they may escape their troubles, they forget to look to the hills whence all real help cometh; they do not say, ‘Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night? (Spurgeon)

At this time, Job was going through excruciating pain. Elihu, Job's friend gave him advice. Sometimes in our lives we complain and wonder, we look to the left and to the right to find the solution. And yet, we forget. The most important resource off all. To seek God for His help first. How are we so confident in ourselves that we do this?

As James reminds us:

"Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15 📅

Dear Lord, whatever we are going through, help us to seek You in everything. Either through happy or tough moments in all things, thank You for reminding us again today. That our lives are fading and temporal. Who are we to know what will happen today or even tomorrow? Instead help us to ask You and to trust in Your Will as we plan out our lives. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
