Not a Bed of Roses All the Time

JOB 11

Inspired thots

All that Zophar said seemed very logical but the Christian life is NOT a Bed of Roses ALL the time. Just like the rose, there would be a fragrance but there may be pricks of the thorns. Hence, one does not assume BLESSINGS from God only even if one is righteous all the time; which one cannot be due to our sinful nature.

Even with Job who was righteous, God chose to allow him to suffer to prove to Satan Job's faithfulness. Only by the grace and mercy of God, that we are not punished according to our iniquities. The wise would be humble and seek God's mercy and forgiveness.
