Job 23:6 (KJV)
Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
What an impressive demonstration of faith. How could a person imagine a man in lower straits? Job had lost very nearly everything
• • His wife was no comfort
• • His children were dead
• • His resources were depleted
• • His influence was exhausted
• • His body was ravished with disease
To top it off his friends were nothing more than thorns ripping holes in his soul.
It is in the midst of all of this that Job boldly declared that God was not against him. Further he insisted that in fact God did all of this to "put strength" in him.
• • What a testimony
• • What an example
