Good day! I’m Duane Matz and this is Today’s Living Word.
Job 7:19 How long? Will You not look away from me, And let me
alone till I swallow my saliva?
Here we have Job speaking to God. He asks Him, “How long?” He
has lost his animals, his servants, his children,
all in rapid fire, and now he is battling physical health as well.
I see a dental hygienist twice a year, they have me lying on
my back as they go digging around my gum line and my teeth. Sometimes I need a break from all that
digging to swallow my saliva. Remember the days of the sink that she invited
you to spit into? The sinks are gone and now she has her miniature hoover that
she can use to provide water and at the same time vacuum up all the gunk.
Nonetheless, I still need a
break in order to sit up and swallow! My saliva!
In essence, that is what Job is asking of God. “God give me a
break from this trauma that You keep allowing to come my way!”
Are you in that season now in your life? You keep getting bad
news in your life and you need a break! Think of this passage in Job and then
do what Job did. He asked the Spiritual Hygienist for a break!
God I pray for those who right now are experiencing one bad
report after another….please, in Your mercy, give them a break.
