Jobʼs Plight
Sometimes we can feel so many different ways (including frustrated, restless, and weary) about trials and tribulations that are unexplained. But Jesus always will come, sit with us, and work everything for our good. Thatʼs a promise and a reality.
Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.
- H.C. Daniels
So lonely but not alone. They don't understand pain inflicted without cause.
Judgment's premature birth, selah, pondering, creating pause.
Waiting on deliverance as thoughts become words, fingers pointing,
life at its finest subject to disjointing.
I'll wait for you.
My God, where and why did I go wrong.
The duet we had became a solo in my life's song.
Your love is present trials resonating created sorrow.
The summation of hurts snatching hope from tomorrow.
Friends gone, home disrupted, marriage taken too.
Yet I still declare goodness coming from You.
Sickness, betrayal, I am but a mere human.
Not made to exist like this so why exist at all.
Calling out but no answer to my understated call...but to wait.
I endure through faith.
Weaving in and out, dreams formed in the bosom of yesterday.
Soul agonizing for the sunrise of a better day.
I am not a case to be solved by others.
Projecting problematic jury,
Revelation is from the most High who at times seems unbothered.
Ignorance or arrogance, reasoning for explanation of my outcry.
Assumptions, presumptions, does it make any sense to even try.
For you alone are God, your character is flawless,
I am confident any outcome always demonstrates Your justice.
Your Honor give me strength in the waiting.
All alone but not alone.
Those around me proclaim knowledge yet know nothing.
A joke missing the punchline. Lord send me a lifeline.
But I'll just wait.
Who am I to question your sovereignty.
Lines blurred between judging and testing. Spring me forth into newness.
Not easy but your love carries me through this.
I remember you, and I quickly regret my anger at inability to resolve...
my human frailty, my hearts fragility...very hard to digest.
Alternatively I am a vessel where Your glory manifests.
You are due all praise for You kept me.
My heart is forever Yours, darkest hours for a moment prevail.
Double for my shame delivered first class mail. I will wait.
