Each of us may have faced some sort of problem, calamity, hardship, suffering, anxiety, stress, or
depression at some point of our lives. When we are faced with such situations, what do we do? Some would give up and despair. Some
would resort to abuse of substances. Some would start blaming others for their condition, or
even blame God. How many of us would bravely, resolutely and
unwaveringly go through the situation, trusting God and knowing that God
would help us?
In today's reading, we come across Job
who had been inflicted with one catastrophe after another. Satan was trying to make him curse God
for the situation he was in. Yet, Job did not curse God or despair. He
cursed the day he was born instead, wishing that he had not been born.
Job did not put the blame on anyone or God, but expressed his
feelings via figures of speech and exaggeration. Job still
trusted in God to see him through his predicament. What about us? Are we patient and humble enough to trust in God's providence and help?
