Job 29-31
What God said to me – You are not exempt from the troubles of the world just because you are Mine. My own Son suffered poverty and cold and hunger. But His suffering was not just physical, it was also mental and emotional as He saw those around Him who rejected Me and disparaged Him. He mourned those who were spiritually blind and rejected Me. Most of all – He prayed. He spent much time with Me seeking My directions and how He should respond. Don’t let your immediate reaction to injustice or wrong be action or rebuttal or preaching – let it be prayer. Come to Me. Seek Me. Seek My direction about what your response should be. Don’t alienate those who need to know Me because of your quick response or accusations. Come to Me and let Me calm your spirit and show you what you should do or say – then obey – even if I tell you to do nothing. Sometimes that is the hardest thing of all.
