The Prophet Job's doubts erupted out of his severely reduced circumstances, even driving him to question God's plan tailored especially to grow Job out of his understanding that Our Father's instruction is limited to providing His children with wine, and roses their reward for remaining faithful.
Resilience is our wherewithal to respond to our inner strength inviting us to remain steady under trial, to bounce back from what appears to be an undefeatable challenge. It can be said that it is our interior life's inspired bounce that matters, enabling us to vault the hurdle that had deterred us from taking our next step on our journey of self discovery.
Job's many doubts, even moments of deep regret having trusted God, is one example of self examination of ones trust in the Grace of God, supplying us with all that we will ever need to face life's trials leading us to praise God for having equipped us with the strength necessary to walk through the darkness, needed to appreciate living in Our Father's enlightenment.
Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.
Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees. ~ Job 4:3-4
