Man Of God Who Experienced A Moment of Depression
Man Of God Who Experienced A Moment of Depression
16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; The days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: And my sinews take no rest.
18 By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
19 He hath cast me into the mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.
20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
21 Thou art become cruel to me: With thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, And dissolvest my substance.
23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, And to the house appointed for all living.
24 Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, Though they cry in his destruction.
25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the poor?
26 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: And when I waited for light, there came darkness.
When we read this passage of scripture, we see that Job, a man that was described by God himself as one who was blameless, upright, feared God, and turned away from evil, is afflicted.
Satan comes before God,
Have you considered my servant Job (blamless, upright, fears God, turns from evil)
Satan responds - Why wouldn’t he serve you ( You have put a hedge of protection about him)
God says all that he has is in your hand
As we read the Story we see that Satan takes Job’s Prosperity and Children, then we continue on and see that Satan attacks Job’s health.
v 16 - Days of affliction have taken hold of me.
V17 - He is in constant pain at night
V20 - I cry out to you for help, but you do not answer
V21 - You have become cruel to me.
V23 - I know that you will bring me to death.

We Have To Turn To God
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
We Have To Encourage Ourselves
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, Who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Psalm
1-
1 I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: And their faces were not ashamed.
We Have To Make God Bigger Than Our Problems

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: And their faces were not ashamed.
