Now my eye has seen you

“I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.” - Job 42v5

Nothing helps us draw close to God like trials. From the very start we saw that Job was a spiritual man. He hated evil and did all he could to take care of his family’s spiritual needs. Yet, something was missing.

After all of the tribulations Job discovered something. He realised that before the trials his knowledge and awareness of God was secondary and only based on what he had heard about God.

After he had been through the trials he truly saw God for who He is. Too often we face trials with dread and fear. Every trial is chance to see God and to get to know Him better. Lets count it all joy when we fall into diverse temptation.
