...for I don't want to run this race in vain.
In my last post, I talked briefly about Job and how he experiences
emotion and pain like we do, yet because of his mature faith is able to
seek for understanding from God rather than turning away from him.
He is an extraordinary person for that.
Even more so because he is able to do that without a support system.
Friendship is an important aspect of a healthy life.
Having a community is especially important during times of distress and grief.
In passages between the scripture readings we learn about Job's friends, and how they cope with Job's misfortunes, and how they leave him in the dust, or at least the ashes.
No wonder Job is distressed.
No family, no home, and now no friends...
Yet he still keeps his faith; it is the only thing he has.
Yes, Job is an extraordinary person for that.
Luckily, we're here to be your support system.
During these hard times, it is hard not to lose faith as well.
But we're here.
I've witnessed miracles with my own eyes, and
I believe in the power of a loving, praying community.
