Today we start worship with:
How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
We all go through those times when for his own purpose God allows circumstances to enter our lives that seem, from our perspective, the God has turned his face from us or has forgotten us.
Job experienced terrible calamity when God removed His favor and allowed Satan to take Job captive. (šᵊḇûṯ).
But that captivity ended when . . .
And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
In the throne room of God we are not captives but, instead, citizens. Call out and enter anytime the world has taken you captive.
