Job 30:1-31:40 

Job feels like everything and everyone is against him. He feels like he is being mocked and opposed by his peers and society. Even more significantly, he feels like God is against him. He says that God does not answer him (Job 30:20) and has turned on him ruthlessly (Job 30:21). What a terrifying plight: to think that you are all alone and have been abandoned by everyone. Though Job feels this way, it is not true. God’s promise is that he will never leave his people and is for us, not against us. This is the beauty of the gospel.

The gospel provides us with the assurance that we are loved more than we can fathom; and the gift of the Holy Spirit assures us that we are never alone. You may find yourself facing hard circumstances at work. Regardless of how you feel today, know that God loves you, is with you, and you can trust in him.

Father God, thank you that you love me. I often fail to love you and yet you love me all the same. Thank you for your grace, your love, and your presence in my life. Help me to rest in you. Amen.

What causes you to doubt God's love and what verse can you memorize to better remember his love?
