Modern Day Job

2Samuel 22.4 // I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.

Wow... so little simple words, but a huge emotional impact. Even though we sometime forget about who we worship at times.

For the past month, with all the attacks that I and my family have endure. I have been a spiritual battle or a lesson that I have never faced in my life. At first, I thought it was one of them blow-over things that the devil just put on me and that I will go over. But, I came to face with something that was bigger than I can handle in the spirit and that I needed the spirit of God to take this and guide me through this battle.

In a facebook conversation that I had last night with one of my spiritual brothers, it had me thinking and we talked about in the Book of Job. About whenever Job lost everything he had including his family... but he always praised God no matter what the devil destroyed when it came to material things to his personal life. And with that I commend Job for keeping a heart longing after God even though he got down to the bottom of the barrell and still praised God for things He has already.

This lesson is one of them lessons that I had to fall on my face and had learn the hard way. Cause I am got to the point where I almost thrown in the towel and started questioning God in a huge way. Just like in the book of Habakukk, when Habakukk was cursing and questioning God about the injustice that have been happening in the city. So I caught myself in the middle of a Habakukk / Job situation.

1Peter 1.3 // Praise to be to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

What I have learned is that I should be praising God instead of questioning Him cause I should have known He was doing it for my sake and that He knows what is best for me in the destiny that He has prepared for me down the road (whatever that may be). Also, that to keep my head high of any attacks that the Devil have been putting me through.

So today... I challenge you, if you are like me and going through the same thing that I have been going through, starting praising Him more and ask for His guidance and mercy that He has given us in Him.
