Joy

Job's one request...what he hoped for...was that God would crush him and cut him off. Why? So that his consolation----his joy in unrelenting pain---would be that he had not denied the words of the Holy One. WOW! When have I ever had that as my goal? How many times have I denied the whispered words of the Holy One to do something and I have walked away and ignored them? I have sooooo much to learn. Worship in pain.....Joy in pain...... Jesus please help me to truly make You my all in all, to worship you even through my greatest trials and be joyful when I have kept Your words no matter how difficult that might be...even with "friends" being so judgmental and discouraging.
