While not quite in the league with Job, my many discouragements have been Job like, or Job-lite. I have been discouraged from wandering astray from God's Shepherd whom is also the passover Lamb. In all those discouragements lay my hope certain beyond any rah rah encouragement. That hope is of course our Lord's sacrifice made personally to enable His Father to see me as acceptable in His sight. Me, me personally a sinner for sure yet washed white as snow. p. S. As is quoted of Job; ... shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
