Job 29:2-3, “Oh, that I were as in months past, AS IN THE DAYS WHEN GOD WATCHED OVER ME; When His lamp shone upon my head, And WHEN BY HIS LIGHT I WALKED THROUGH DARKNESS;
In Job’s eyes, his greatest lost was the fellowship he had with the LORD! job’s footsteps were guided by the light of his goodness even in times of darkness!
Psa 27:1, … The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
EVEN IN THE DARKEST, SCARIEST MOMENTS IN LIFE, THE LORD IS THERE READY TO HELP!
Heb 13:6, So we may boldly say: “THE LORD IS MY HELPER; I WILL NOT FEAR. WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME?”
Job 29:12-13, Because I delivered the poor who cried out, The fatherless and the one who had no helper. The blessing of a perishing man came upon me, And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

Heb 13:16, BUT DO NOT FORGET TO DO GOOD AND TO SHARE, FOR WITH SUCH SACRIFICES GOD IS WELL PLEASED.

Joh 13:7, Jesus answered…, “WHAT I AM DOING YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND NOW, BUT YOU WILL KNOW AFTER THIS.”
There are times in our lives when we just don’t understand what is happening, what is GOD doing, why am I going through this? BUT THOSE WHO KNOW THE LORD KNOW THAT HE HAS A PURPOSE FOR IT! WAIT ON THE LORD!
Rom 8:28, And WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO THOSE WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.
