“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: But I will maintain mine own ways before him.”
Job 13:15 KJV
Job said, “Because even if he killed me, I’d keep on hoping. I’d defend my innocence to the very end.” It is no wonder that God had put His reputation on Job’s integrity when He said to satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause.” Job’s friends couldn’t do anything for him so he shut them up and said of God that he’d continue to ask God all his questions. In the midst of his calamity, Job was still able to say that he trusted in God. In the new covenant, Jesus has made us co-heirs with Him so that all in heaven belongs to us as He said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” In the midst of distress and calamity, believers in Christ have the peace of God. Let’s receive it and abide in it as our inheritance and our lifestyle. Amen!
