Oh, that I had one to hear me!
Here is my mark. Oh, that the Almighty would answer me, That my Prosecutor had written a book! Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, And bind it on me like a crown; I would declare to Him the number of my steps; Like a prince I would approach Him. Job 31:35-37 (NKJV) Could it be that contemplating one's problems... with such intense focus, with constant and never ending reason, could be a source of pride, could turn to self-worship... and even be considered idolatry? If Job had a Facebook, would we ever see his lamenting posts... pondering his problems, commanding comments, longing for likes, fainting for friends? For certainly he has greater problems than any I know... but he has also come to focus on only those. And the constant wonder of why, the constant focus on self, becomes a source of worship... for it has taken his constant focus and attention. Word of God... train me, today... not to focus solely on myself, my problems, my sorrows; but rather to lift my eyes. I will lift up my eyes to the hills... From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV)
