Have you ever read the book of Job?

Most of us wonder if we would have ever reacted to the massive rounds of losses in the way that Job did. Think of what the Bible says.

“In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly” (Job 1:22).

I cannot begin to imagine the heartbreaking emotions that Job and his wife experienced that horrible, horrible day. News came that his entire business was wiped out. As if it couldn’t get any worse than this, the last messenger arrived and informed Job that every one of their children had been killed. Collapsing under the unimaginable weight of grief, Job did an amazing thing. While grieving and falling upon the ground, Job worshipped (Job 1:20). He said, “Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD” (Job 1:21).

He was brokenhearted. His grief was profound. And yet his focus took him to the Lord. It was as if Job ran to the Lord instead of running away. He worshipped.

I don’t know your situation today. However, I can tell you from personal experience that our awesome Lord is worthy of worship on the hard days as well as the good days. Embrace your emotions and even carefully express them. But don’t forget to worship. It will make a big difference!

Think of this today: The Lord is still worthy of your worship even when the events of your life are difficult. I want to continue to be challenged and blessed by the life of Job. How about you?
