From the day i started to read Bible, i dare not step in to read the book of Job. I am so scared to read it, till this day.
Though the words in a speech, words in a book, dialogue in a scene are easy to hear, read, or see; It is hard to feel it from inside and to realize its actual essence. And when it comes to life's toughest moments, its never easy to really feel its actual pain or agony.
I can never sit and complete a novel or a big story book, while i am always interested in short stories or least it should be smaller, like a chapter in the Bible. I believe, i have almost read the entire Bible once in my Life time, Yet the book of job, i haven't yet completed.
Well, Job, to me is a greatest Saint, since it is hard to hope when there is utter hopelessness. it is hard to expect miracles, when troubles overflow on top of you.
Being good, worshiping the true god, not committing adultery, murder, stealing, not making false witness, not coveting could be easier (though it is not)while to remain in hope is harder than anything else, when you are physically unwell.
I admire, Job, always, for remaining in hope till the end that God could not stop Blessing him more than twice of all he had earlier. Again its easier for somebody to quote Job as an example; but in reality to follow him is a very big deal and it is a big temptation to go astray in hopelessness.
I never knew, that temptation could also be in the form of continuous negative thoughts which pushes down resisting our minds to think about the good things which God has kept for us,expecting us to hope for our rescue.
