True love for the Lord is to obey His Law not out of fear or reward but love. Out of our reverence of the Lord, we fight evil. Not only for ourselves, should we likewise make intersession for others. Our safest place is in the arms of the divine even when it brings troubles. Calvin preached in His “First Sermon upon the First Chapter” of Job this:“Upon the sight of such an issue we may conclude, that there is nothing better, than to submit ourselves unto God, and to suffer peaceably whatsoever he sends us, until he deliver us of his own mere goodness.” (Pg. 1/38 Arther Golding 1574 Lucus Harris)
All people stand before the Lord naked. The Lord holds satan not to
destroy us but to test the children of the Lord to purify us to being vessel by
which God can use us. We can only be touched obey the devil as much as the Lord
allows. The Lord's Name should be praised whether we gain or lose. God's answer
to the problem of pain is wisdom. Paige-Patric J D Samuels wrote in his paper “JOB AND SUFFERING,”
“God answers another question, that of the source of wisdom. He provides the
definite answer he is wise.”( Pg.3 0 The greater trial is when we receive
physical pain or family curse us.
Only Spanish and East Asians paint vibrantly in black. When we rest in
pain, our vibrancy is like Japanese ink paintings with each stain simplified to
a simple stroke of black. Our birth should be cursed for life is the beginning
of bitterness, but a righteous man suffers more as even the Prophet Jeremiah
wrote in Jeremiah 20:14, “Cursed be the day when I was born; Let the day not be
blessed when my mother bore me!” NASU Night is a welcome friend of pain. One
then asks why we did not expire in our mother's womb. Pain exists until our
final rest. Life is the white contrast to painfully vibrant, black
brushstrokes.
Pain never guards silence for words are risk for some comfort. In
health, we are quick to give advice to those who stumble, but pain causes us to
groan. Our faith is our assurance is troubles for our Hope is found in the arms
of the divine. God moves to convict men of sin. God's Justice confounds the
wise making them stupid. Man is born to suffering for our recourse is the
divine. The prophet Micah wrote in Micah 7:8 “Do not rejoice over me, O my
enemy. Though I fall I will rise; Though I dwell in darkness, the LORD is a
light for me.” NASU
