Father God, guide me today and always to do all things that will bring glory and honor to You Amen

Matthew 11:28-29 " Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest, Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will fiend rest for your souls. Life can be overwhelming when we find ourselves deep in the pit surrounded by darkness and fear. I found a clue to the true meaning of Job when reading James 5:11 " We count thouse blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings ". That the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. Job stayed diligent and obedient. He always wants to do the right thing. He completely believes God and acts on those beliefs. The Book of Job is for EVERYONE, the highest of the high to the lowest of the low. NO matter what our starting point, it is meant to bring us into a personal relationship with God. Open communication is the key foundation to a relationship. Building a real relationship with God on the inside is far more important than an outwardly being proper or following the rules people have told us. Respect for God is vital. Start with an honest prayer. Father God, forgive me for my sins. I know Jesus died and rose again for my sins. I ask You Lord to become my Lord and Savior. Amen.  A relationship with God means you can live a life of joy and peace even in this crazy  messed up world. DONT GIVE UP!  if you read the book of Job, you realize that a Job NEVER consider the devil doing all these horrible things to him. 1 Peter 5:8 " Be sober, be viligant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." Satan stalked Job for the right attack. Satan knew that Job loved God more than anything and was a obedient servant . And Satan was out to prove God and Job wrong. Aware of Satan's intent. God cut to the chase.  You saw my most upright, perfect servant Job while you were there. I know you're interested in him because there is NO one like him on the face of the earth. He is blameless and fears me instead of you. He refuses to give in to your temptations and you can't stand it. You've set your heart on Him,haven't you? Satan left the court room bent on destruction. Our enemy is NOT the Judge(God); he is the prosecutor (Satan)!   In his arrogance, Satan thought. He'd won. Yet God takes all of Satan's destructive exertion and turns it back on him. By the end of the story Job isn't just doing the right thing.  He is FREE of fear and has a fulfilling relationship with God. HEAVEN bound my friends heaven bound.  GLORY TO GOD!  Sometimes when your in a dark place you think you've been buried, but you actually been planted.
