knocking on heaven’s door... 38/90
Job is distraught and questions his fate in deep-rooted discourse… knocking on heaven’s door... begrudging his place in life... questioning why God has brought him to such a place of hardship and heartache... all is lost in his eyes and he falls into a deep depression...
I understand job... as of late, i am job... i know of this loss… this loneliness… this feeling of abandonment… this horrible heartache... i too have been questioning why God has put me through such discourse...
job is knocking at death’s door... (job 38:17) and, God eventually asks job… “have the gates of death been shown to you... have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?”
Job realizes he has spoke of things he does not understand... things beyond our human comprehension... and the fact that no plan of God’s can be thwarted...
God restored greatness and glory to job because of his faithfulness... greater blessings than he had before his trials and turmoil... a door of grace was opened to job and a path of love lay before him the rest of his years on earth...
we all have challenges and hardships... it is faith and God's grace we must acknowledge and rely on in these times of struggle... remembering that God does have a plan set in motion and we cannot simply give up at death's door by our own accord...
when we knock at heaven's door... the door will be opened...
... never, never, never, give up...
