The book of Job relays the message that righteous people suffer unjustly too. Here is man that served God to the fullest yet that same God allowed him to suffer greatly. In Job 7:20 Job demands of God, "If I have sinned, what have I done to you?" It is my belief that there will always be situations in life that are unexplained or seem to have no easily explainable origin. Individually we must all find power from within to overcome life’s mysterious ways. When I am faced with person challenges I dig deep within for strength. At the end of day whatever the issue may be life must still go on. It waits for nothing and for no one. I am strong because I have to be for me and my kids.
