Do you believe the Lord has your best interest in mind?

In the book of Job, chapters 6 and 7, Job continued on with how miserable he was.  In the second and third verse, from chapter 6, he compared his misery with weighing it against all of the sands of the sea and how his troubles would tip the scales in his direction.

He also asked if he had a right to complain and compared himself to other complaints people have, like with unsalted food or the tastelessness of an egg white.  He again wished for the Lord to end his life.  He had already endured months of agony and begged for it all to end.  He tossed and turned each night while his body was covered with pus and scabs.

By the end of chapter 7, he pleads with God, asking what he had done, why he was a target of all this misery.

Since October 2011, my late wife had endured loss of vision and a constant tiredness as she recovered from her stem cell transplant as a remedy from her acute myeloid leukemia.  Thankfully her leukemia never returned.  That much we were blessed with.  But the result of her treatment through graft vs. host was her loss of vision and other ailments.  She could no longer drive and whenever I went somewhere with her I guided her along with what I called the "prom walk" as she latched her arm through mine.

She did complain?  It was a rare event, but for the most part she knew life was in God's hands.  He had a plan and were blessed just to be alive.  Even as she breathed in her last, on January 16, 2020, she fought to stay alive but ultimately knew God had her life in His Hands.  He had her life's best interest in His Mind.

The same goes with Job.  If you look at the first chapter again, God knew what Job was like, how strong his faith was.  No matter what happens in our lives, we need to understand that the Lord has our best interest in mind.  We need to have faith in that and trust him fully.
