Job, Jesus, you and me . . .

The eyes of the Lord never squint, never close, never slumber, and never sleep. . . .not even a nap! Every moment of day our Lord’s perfect eye scans every corner of the globe, surveying every heart of every person, looking for someone, for you,for me, for anyone whose heart is fully committed to Jesus Christ. Even as we go through times when it seems like we are all alone, He is with us, watching, engaging, willing to assist . . . even to take over!
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever . . . the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.(John 14:16-18)
A life committed to serving the Lord and His purposes is not easy. It is many times lonely. There are dark periods when it seems all is doomed. There are times when it seems tomorrow will never come and the light will never shine. However . . . His promise never fails. Hold on. Hang in. Lean on Him. Like David, like Job, like Jesus on the cross . . . He NEVER leaves us nor forsakes us. He is RIGHT HERE!
