Read Insight For Today 29th April 2023 Devotional by Chuck Swindoll, Saturday Message. As you study today’s devotional, remember this; “Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT)
TOPIC: Ragged Rocks of Adversity
SCRIPTURE: Job 1–2, 42
Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you.
You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me.
You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’
I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.” (Job 42:1–6)
Try to make time this weekend to read the entire book of Job, for only then do you really see the true extent of Job’s honest dealings with God and his steadfast faith in the face of adversity.
Then, honestly look at your own life and your own dealings with the Lord. Think about your past . . . those times of adversity in your own life. Were you able to look up, look ahead, and look within?
Where are you now in your journey of faith?
If you are climbing over the ragged rocks of adversity, take His hand and let Him lead you through. In the midst of it all, it is His touch which comforts and guides.
If the road ahead is smooth right now, get ready. Watch out for falling rocks!
