Summary: Sometimes I get the answer I expected. Sometimes I get the answer I dreaded. Job had to learn to trust God's plan, not by emotions and circumstances --- BY FAITH.

SOMETIMES YOU CAN’T GET OVER IT, YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH IT.

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes)

WILL YOU LISTEN AND HEAR MY HEART?

Hear a little wisdom? DISCIPLINE YOURSELF TO SMILE. FORGIVE QUICKLY! HAVE WE MADE PEACE WITH THE PAST? DON’T GET HUNG UP WITH WHAT OTHERS THINK OF YOU. IT TAKES TIME TO HEAL AND MOVE FORWARD. DON’T JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE. BE WHO YOU ARE, DON’T COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS. JOY IS A CHOICE. YOU CHOOSE YOUR MOOD EVERYDAY.

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

MAYBE OUR PRAYERS WILL BE ANSWERED. MAYBE WE WILL RECEIVE OUR DREAMS? MAYBE WE WILL RECEIVE THE ANSWERS WE DREADED? MAYBE OUR DREAMS WILL BE NIGHTMARES? WE MUST KNOW GOD IS STILL GOD. THE QUESTION IS WILL I TRUST GOD’S PLANS?

God had blessed JOB beyond measure. JOB lost everything. JOB lost his family, his livestock, nature had seemed to destroy. The enemies came against JOB. Nothing was left. JOB’S HEALTH WAS DESTROYED. YET JOB WORSHIPPED GOD. JOB had an UNWAVERING TRUST IN A HOLY GOD.

Job 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. 22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

I HAD A DREAM DURING MY CRUSHING TIMES AS A NEW MINISTER. IN MY DREAM 6 SMALL SNAKES WERE LATCHED ON MY RIGHT HAND. I PULLED THEM OFF MY HAND AND TOOK THEM TO AN INFIRMARY. THE NURSE SAID: ONE SNAKE BITE WILL NOT HURT YOU, BUT I DON’T KNOW ABOUT SIX BITES. THEN I OPENED UP MY SHIRT, A HUGE SNAKE HAD ITS FANGS SUNK IN MY HEART. SHE SAID: YOU ARE DEAD MEAT. AFTER THE DREAM, I OPENED MY BIBLE TO:

Job 5:19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

JOB’S WIFE WAS BROKEN, THE TRIPS TO THE FUNERAL HOME AND TO SEE JOB SUFFER SO BAD. HER ANSWER WAS CRUEL.

Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

JOB SAW THE WORLD FALL APART, YET BY FAITH HE COMPLETELY TRUSTED GOD’S PLAN. GOD NEED NOT EXPLAIN HIMSELF TO US. BY FAITH WE WALK.

Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

JOB DID NOT UNDERSTAND. HIS WIFE HURT HIM. HIS 3 FRIENDS HURT HIM DEEPLY. JOB DECLARES HE WILL SEE GOD. HE KNEW --- KNEW FOR A FACT THAT HIS REDEEMER LIVES… HE DECLARES HE WILL SEE GOD.

Job 42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

THE HIDING PLACE: GOD PROMISES HIS PEOPLE HE WILL MAKE AWAY FOR US. GOD KNOWS YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED.

We will face many defeats in life, but that does not mean we have to live defeated.

Corrie Ten Boom was a Jew that worked with the underground resistance against Hilter. 6 million died. Corrie, her dad Caspar and sister, BETSY were arrested. They were taken into captivity by the Germans in the Jewish Death Camps. Corrie and her sister were captives. In her book THE HIDING PLACE, Corrie tells about her captivity and the death of her family members. Corrie tells that her sister, Betsy and her was in a dormitory with hundreds of other ladies. They were forced to work. Corrie had a Bible she had smuggled in and she would read to the other ladies. LICE INFESTED THEIR DORM. THE LICE INFESTION was horrible. God answered Corrie’s prayers. Corrie and Betsy prayed God to kill the LICE. The LICE INFESTION grew worse. Later Corrie and Betsy learned that the German soldiers visited and raped the women in dorms, but the lice kept them out of their dorm. The German soldiers would not come near their dorm because of the LICE INFESTATION. God used the lice to protect the women. The women were known by numbers. Corrie was known as 66730.

Betsy died in the concentration camp. One day Corrie Ten Boom heard her name called over of the public address system. She almost missed it as she was known as 66730. There was a clerical mistake that allowed CORRIE TEN BOOM TO ESCAPE THE DEATH CAMP. Corrie wrote THE HIDING PLACE and she traveled with the Billy Graham Crusade and shared her story.
