Job 3: 20 -26 – Why is light given to him who is in misery?
Cause i wouldnt give the light a second look if i thought i was fine. We dont welcome Christ in and change when we are all honky dory, we come to Christ after having been broken, bruised, and wounded. Thats when im open to the message, were the most strengthing of faith is done – not at a high intelectual level, but when ive lost all my crutchs, and i see my misery.
For years, i truly believed that i was sufficient for everything, that i could figure things out. In that time, I was surrounded by the most God-fearing people, most resourses and oppurtunities to grow in faith, but even though the light was there, there was absolutely no gain. It was of no benefit. It took going to Africa for me to realize how little i am capable of without the help of God, I hope nobody else is as stubborn as me.
Job, man hes a good guy.
