Those who
suffer he delivers in their suffering
But
those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their
affliction. (Job 36 : 15)
Have you heard
God speak lately? Surely if not at other times, during afflictions most
Christians do. For that is when we are tuned more into God. Of course God is
speaking at all times but we miss His voice. That's because we are
concentrating on numerous other voices that we are hearing and God's voice gets
drowned in all that.
Not that God's
voice is not powerful than the other voices but our ears are more tuned to the
other voices. Afflictions make us assess and re-assess ourselves. We become
more acutely aware of the working of the Holy Spirit of God. We start assessing
ourselves in respect to sin, righteousness and judgment. God did really speak
to Job in his affliction, not to destroy him but to restore him. Our God is one
who delivers us in our suffering. You may have experienced that in your lives
several times but this is another time to refresh your memory regarding this
promise.
Are you
afflicted by sickness? Or is it a family problem? Is it a problem with your
finances? Take heart. Jesus will deliver you from this suffering that you are
going through.
He will not let
you down. Let your heart be revived this day. We have a loving Savior and
nothing's too difficult for him to solve. Remember, he delivered Job. He will
deliver you too.
