“I wish you would hide me in the grave
and forget me there until your anger has passed.
But mark your calendar to think of me again!

I could say the same things if you were in my place.
I could spout off criticism and shake my head at you.
5But if it were me, I would encourage you.
I would try to take away your grief.
6Instead, I suffer if I defend myself,
and I suffer no less if I refuse to speak.

I struggle with Job and his struggles in his attitude. I have a hard time understanding what he means in his suffering. I think I am starting to understand he is expressing overwhelming grief and just expressing that, Not once does he get mad and attack God, he understands whatever despair he is in God is still in control and Job is willing to accept whatever God allows to happen to him to happen.

Lord God,
Thank you for your lesson in Job, Help me to surrender my life to you so I can be confident in knowing you are in control of all and of my life belongs to you. Have your way with me and delight in me.

In Jesus name,
Amen
