Hebrew Translation: “Though he slay me, yet will I trust, wait, hoping and expecting in him: but I will maintain, arguing and disputing my case before God continuing my path and lot in life.” Comment: Can we win an argument with God? You may have heard of the story of this old man in a nursing home? He was laying in bed talking to himself! The nurse came into the room and asked him what he was talking about? Hot dog! I just won another argument with myself! The weakness of the flesh and the mortality of life can cause us to argue with God! Why God? Our flesh is mortal but our Spirit immortal! Sometimes we can get these two realities mixed up! Finally Job did win his argument with God! He maintained his integrity through every storm Satan executed on him! His wife told Job to curse God and die! Satan will try to use the mortal flesh as a weapon to blame God for our troubles! When in fact Satan is the author of sickness, old age and death! In Psalm 22:1, David echoed the same words as Job! My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me? David defeated Goliath and now David was running from King Saul trying to kill him! How about Jesus on the Cross in Matthew 27:46? My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me? He repeated it again then died on the Cross! Jesus was man and God! There is no better evidence for his humanity than these words on the Cross! His resurrection from the dead three days later proves his Divinity! We have hope beyond the grave! God makes promises in the scriptures reminding us of our hope in him! A few years ago my mother was in a nursing home at 90 years of age! She was suffering from many physical problems! When I was visiting her a famous young American Pastor came on the television! Mom took the remote and changed the channel? I told mom he was watched by millions and has sold his books to millions of people! He preaches prosperity, health and success! Mom told me wait until he gets my age and I wonder what he will preach? He is not reality to me! Our reality changes over time! However God never changes! His promises to us for Salvation and eternity with him are good forever! Jesus had to wait for three days before his reality changed! At death our reality is changed! Just like at birth our reality changed! Job had to wait months and years for his reality to change! David had to wait a long time before his reality changed! Trust God with his promises to you even when you cannot see an immediate change! Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength! My waiting does not negate his promises but will eventually confirm them! God is not the author of suffering and death! Satan is! God is the author of life, redemption and eternal life! My reality of peace, love and joy is from God and is a gift to us! Your reality on earth is not permanent and trust Jesus to change your reality if need be where you no longer trust yourself for your outcome but God! Jesus, Job and David were not forsaken but saw the promise of God fulfilled in their lives! Jesus will do the same for you! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
