W. U. (WORD UP) FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE! Job 42:5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth thee. *** From two different perspective Job acknowledges God. In Job 3:3-5, after a time of quiet agony, the great Old Testament saint breaks his silence and lets out his anguish. He calls the darkness and then destruction to overwhelm him. Instead of seeing Gods light-filled and good creation, Job feels he is living in a world of darkness. But in Job 42:5-6, we see the resolution of Jobs conflict. Out of the whirlwind, God challenges Job and points to creation as a witness to His reality. Although he is never told that his sufferings are the result of spiritual warfare from the devil, Job submits to the sovereignty of God and experiences restoration. From (Job 3-5 NKJV) May the day perish on which I was born....May a cloud settle on it. His experience of despair continued for a long time until God spoke. Then Job exclaimed, I have heard of You....but now my eye sees You (Job 42:5 NKJV). Job had encountered the sovereign Creator, and that changed his perspective of Gods purpose. Saints do clouds of trouble fill your skies today? God may use these clouds to help you gain perspective on His faithfulness.
