“Is there not a warfare to man upon the earth? ” [Job 7:1(margin)]
July 21, 2024
“Is there not a warfare to man upon the earth? “. Life is not easy, or it might be better to say that those who have things easy do not get very far in this life.
One translation of this verse says that life is like forced army service. We are certainly conscripted into it and thrown into situations we would not choose. But a higher power than ours is at work. Those, like Job, whose trust is in the Lord know He is aware of their state and only allows things to happen for their good. We cannot escape problems and remain in life. We must face what is before us. Neither should we minimise our problems or sweep trouble under the carpet. Rather we should sympathize one with another.
We can all triumph in Christ, whatever our situation and allowing the Lord into every area of our life is the key to comfort and peace in all our trials.
