Job 7:13-15 KJV
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
[14] Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
[15] So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
For most of us, suffering comes in just one or two dimensions. If I look at the number of issues people have spoken to me about just this month alone, financial problems form the chunk.
A couple more have had to do with marital issues with illhealth being the least.
Job’s sufferings seem to have been a culmination of all of the above and more.
While the man slept, he was tortured with scary dreams and terrifying visions, so that he couldn’t even take consolation in his sleep. It was like playing soccer without half time. Torture in continuum, by day and by night. Absolutely unbrearable!!
I pray for extra grace to go through my limited challenges/troubles. I reckon that my challenges may be nowhere near what better men have suffered. Thank you for the gift of peaceful sleep. This should be our prayer today.
Have a blessed day.
