Job 17-20
What God said to me – I know you are overwhelmed with sadness – not just because of things happening in your life, but as you look around and see evil so pervasive in the world and people hurting all around you. There are no easy answers. Sin has taken hold and is running its course and no one is exempt from its fallout. Unless the world turns to Me in masse, there is no stopping it. The whole earth is groaning with the weight of society’s rejection of Me and they have no concept or understanding of what this means. Judgment is coming and My patience and forbearance are reaching an end. You must stay close to Me and not waver. Know that you Redeemer lives and you will at last see Me in all My glory. Live in such a way that you will not be ashamed at My coming.
