2 “Oh, how I long for the good old days,
when God took such very good care over me.
Again, I don't have any real takeaway today. Job is feeling like God isn't with him now and looks back in time and longs for it to be the way it use to be. But God is still there, he can't just be there in the good ole days. Not to mention I wonder if the good ole days in there day were really as good as he remembers them. Funny how when I look back I can remember things in some sort of perfect light yet at the time I was living it I'm sure I had some other stress going on because I don't seem to remember living when I wasn't thinking I was feeling some stress.
Actually for me I think right now are the future good old days, life is pretty good and I shouldn't let it pass me by without realizing it.

ReplyDeletewhen God took such very good care of me.
He always held a lamp before me
and I walked through the dark by its light.
Oh, how I miss those golden years
when God’s friendship graced my home,
When the Mighty One was still by my side
and my children were all around me,
When everything was going my way,
and nothing seemed too difficult.
this is the part I pulled out as well. Same as you.
Kim told me one time, that she thought her life was going so well, that she was afraid the other shoe would soon fall. I have that feeling when I read what Job is writing here. He had it GREAT!...just like me. And he is longing for it again. I think the key is to realize where it all comes from, and to know that it can be gone in a instant. Its all up to his will.
