Day 298 - Job 19 & Psalm 112

 Julie

Job tells them all that he knows that God is his redeemer and that he lives. However, he does question why everyone seems to be turning against him. Even in the questioning, he is showing that he trusts in God, I feel like he is now more often talking about his trust in God even in all of the difficulties. I honestly have been feeling a bit like this lately. I feel like those around me are not really hearing or caring any longer which leads me to remember that I am really not alone even in the aloneness that I sometimes feel. 

This psalm tells about all that we can obtain if we stay righteous in God.

As I read this it seems that Job thinks God is doing all this to him, but then I thought does he not realize that Satan is also involved.  I know that God allows us to go thru troubles at times and this is what is happening to Job but I think we forget that sometimes it's more than that.  And that we need to keep our focus on God so that the evil doesn't cloud our minds.

The psalm seems to be telling us to remember to find delight in the Lord and the righteous will never be shaken.  If we remain in the Lord we will not fear what is happening to us but will in the end look in triumph.
