All
the while my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God is in my
nostrils; My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter
deceit. God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I won’t
remove mine integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast, and
will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as
the unrighteous. For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he
hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? Will God hear his cry
when trouble cometh upon him? Job, Chapter 27, verses 3-9.
This
is when Job had suffered many tribulations and his so-called friends
were trying to help him. They challenged Job and his beliefs, but
Job never wavered. He wouldn’t turn away from believing in God,
even amidst his tragic situation. I want God to always keep my focus
on Him. I never want to turn my back on God or to blame Him for my
problems.
