Be a Witnesses of God.
Job life was a total failure and full of pain and sickness. His skin
is affected. He tells us the words of wisdom that are to be written with an
iron pen on a rock. “For I know that my Redemer lives, and at last he will
stand upon the earth. And after my skin
has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for
myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!”
In his worst situation of the sickness, Job entrusts himself to God.
One needs great faith and trust to bear the pain, sickness and evils
of life. Those in sickness and malady have
to place one’s trust in the Lord and stand as witnesses. It is a wonderful act
of a believer to witness to God in times of crisis and sickness. Job was able to
give witness to God’s love and protection in the worst moments of his life.
Such people will not be abandoned by God.
Are we able to witness to God in times of trial and trouble?
