Job chapter 13 verse 15 though he slay me I will hope in him.

What a statement Job in the middle of his suffering. Let me say it again,

says about God, though he slay me, I will hope in him.

He's experiencing the effects of suffering in his life

and the loss and the tragedy he's walked through

and the physical suffering he's enduring and he knows that ultimately

God is sovereign over all things even the worst things not in a way that God is charged with wrong.

This is part of the mystery of God's sovereignty and the reality of evil and suffering in this world,

but we remember in Job 1 and 2 that Job

blessed God did not sin against God by charging God with wrong with doing anything unrighteous and yet he knows he's

experiencing suffering and tragedy in this world and in the middle of it and the depths of it he says I will hope in God. He knows

that God is sovereign over all things and God is right and righteous and just and God is good and this is the only foundation he has to cling to amidst all the questions in his mind and his heart

amidst all the wrestling and confusion he believes he trusts he hopes in God.

And I just want to encourage you,

when you walk through tragedy,

when you walk through suffering in this world,

cling to the hope that you have no matter how

dark it gets and no matter how confusing it is the hope you have in God.

Don't try to comfort yourself with those things that are not true, namely that God is not in control,

or that God is not just, or God is not righteous, or God is not loving.

Many times when we walk through God is not righteous or God is not loving.
