Job 3:23
Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?

Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Wed, Dec. 22, HEDGED IN (Job 3:23). Job realized the great mercy that he had received from God. He realized that he could be like that, only because God had hedged him in. Otherwise, he could never had 10 children, great wealth, great success, great spiritual achievements, etc. But realization could not stop him from
1. Cursing his day of birth.
He cursed the day, not the mother. He didn’t curse his mum or dad. He cursed the day he was born. He didn’t like to be born.

2. Feeling distressed.
He felt so unhappy, sad, distressed. Sorrow and sadness filled his heart. He didn’t feel anything happy. No more happiness in his heart. No more happy words came out from his mouth.

3. Losing the spirit.
He didn’t want to live anymore. He loved to die. For him, to die is a great blessing. He thought he would be happy when he died. So stressed. Have we ever feel this kind of stress? ASH.
