Job 3:2-5, And Job spoke, and said: “MAY THE DAY PERISH ON WHICH I WAS BORN, And the night in which it was said, ‘A male child is conceived.’ MAY THAT DAY BE DARKNESS; May God above not seek it, NOR THE LIGHT SHINE UPON IT. MAY DARKNESS AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH CLAIM IT; May a cloud settle on it; May the blackness of the day terrify it.
Satan was waiting on Job to curse GOD, Yet Job cursed the day of his birth! In Chapter 1, he lost his family, and his wealth. Chapter 2, he lost his physical health and gained relentless pain! Now Chapter 3, the battle in Job’s mind, deep depression takes over!
Psa 34:18 NLT, THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED; HE RESCUES THOSE WHOSE SPIRITS ARE CRUSHED.
THE LORD KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS TO US, THE BATTLES WE FACE, THE DEPRESSION WE FEEL. THE LORD DOESN’T LEAVE US, BUT DRAWS CLOSER TO US!
Job 3:25, FOR THE THING I GREATLY FEARED HAS COME UPON ME, AND WHAT I DREADED HAS HAPPENED TO ME.
His greatest fear was for his kids as is ours! HE WOULD OFFER THE LORD BURNT OFFERINGS JUST IN CASE HIS KIDS CURSED GOD!
Job 1:5, … AND OFFER BURNT OFFERINGS according to the number of them all. FOR JOB SAID, “IT MAY BE THAT MY SONS HAVE SINNED AND CURSED GOD IN THEIR HEARTS.” Thus Job did regularly.
Psa 94:11, THE LORD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF MAN, THAT THEY ARE FUTILE.
Isa 26:3, YOU WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU, BECAUSE HE TRUSTS IN YOU.
IF WE TRULY TRUST IN THE LORD, THEN HE WILL KEEP US IN PERFECT PEACE BECAUSE THE LORD IS ALWAYS WITH OUR KIDS AND US! AS HE TAUGHT YOU SO HE WILL TEACH THEM! REMEMBER THE LORD DOESN’T SLEEP AND HE HEARS OUR PRAYERS! HE IS FAITHFUL!
Isa 54:13, ALL YOUR CHILDREN SHALL BE TAUGHT BY THE LORD, AND GREAT SHALL BE THE PEACE OF YOUR CHILDREN.
