Whenever we are going through something difficult in our lives no matter how much other people try to relate to our current situation we tend to feel that no one can possibly understand our pain. The worst part of going through a difficult time in our life is having people around us that instead of giving us encouragement give us words that break our soul into pieces.
This was exactly how Job felt when he had lost all his wealth, his children and his health. The Bible says that he was a righteous man and feared God. How could God possibly allow someone who fears Him and lives their life righteously to loose all that they hold dear, all that they consider blessings from God?
Sometimes God will allow us to loose some of the things that we consider most dear to us just to reward us with a much bigger blessing. Whether you are going through a difficult situation financially, with your family or your health, know that bigger is God than anything you might be facing.
When Job was at his worst his friends kept on bringing doubt to him, telling him that he must of done something horrible to deserve such misfortune. He felt so anguished by their words that he said: "How long will you vex my soul, and break me in pieces with WORDS?". With words he said, WORDS. What comes out of our mouth can either encourage someone and bring hope and life in times of much despair or it can break all hope and create an ever bigger anguish in that person.
If you, like Job, are surrounded by people that are breaking you to pieces remember this God has a big plan for you. Your current situation is not one that God has intended for you to remain in. Trust that regardless of what is going on in your life now your future is not one that is inteended for destruction but God has a much bigger plan for you and it's one that involves happiness.
God rewarded Job by giving him twice as much wealth, children and health. God also prolonged his life so he can enjoy all that He gave him.
You see! God not only will replace all that you have lost or feel you are loosing but He will prolong your life so you can enjoy your new blessings.
Don't loose hope and give ear to those around you that are bringing you down.
