Job 7:1-21
My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end without hope. Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again. The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more. As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return. He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more.
Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep, that you put me under guard? When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint, even then you frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions, so that I prefer strangling and death, rather than this body of mine. I despise my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone; my days have no meaning.
If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you who see everything we do? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a burden to you? Why do you not pardon my offenses and forgive my sins? For I will soon lie down in the dust; you will search for me, but I will be no more.”
Why?
Dead is a way to somewhere and never return to everyone in the world.
Job asked the Lord to let him die and not suffer this pain in body and spirit.
Job knew everyone would die but he asked the Lord to show him where he offended the Lord, if Job sinned, please forgive my sins.
The job was frustrating and lost hope to live. Because he did not know why this suffering came upon him.
How?
All of the tragedy or suffering comes up to us, and usually, we don't know why, most of the pain is because of our sins. But the Lord has much love so our suffering will pass soon, even it is longer than we expected we need faith in the Lord, there is a way to us.
