The greatest moment
in the true telling story of Job, is not the man himself. It is not even the
character of Job of how wealthy he was and how he lost so much. Nor is it how
much he endured but rather the greatest moment is the display of faith. Faith is
the strongest bond between man or woman and God. There’s nothing on earth like
faith, faith is immovable and unchanging. It is pure in the sense that it is
the person knowing that they are in the presence of God. We should be so
infinitely grateful that the Holy of Holy’s curtain was torn in two! That we no
longer need a mediator to speak on our behalf, but rather we have God to go to!
There are no steps to climb, no ritual washing, no amount of reading and no
holy uniform we need to wear.
And yet even in our society, to approach even some of the most powerful people on this earth you would need to cut through some red tape before you could sit down. And be told that you’re not allowed to talk about certain issues.But God is unchanging, and we know that by the faith endowed upon us that we can speak to God who moves the universe with nothing more than a whisper of His voice. Faith is powerful; faith is what compels His people to radically desire Him in a world that hates God. As well as the strength to persist in sharing the saving words to men and women who don’t know God. The Apostle Paul is so right to say “to live is Christ and to die is gain!” (Philippians 1:21) Why, because faith was anchored in the hope of Christ. No different to Job, no different to Jacob, Isaiah or Abraham. This faith is linear, unchanged and immovable. Faith’s desire is affixed on God, if you could dissect faith you would see that at the core of faith is God. That God is the one who provides, establishes and sustains faith. We should be so grateful to have such a wonderful gift such as faith.
