Job could have sung the Blues

"Job could have sung the Blues."

Job could have sung the Blues during his captivity through
all that satan put him through.
The test made Job wish that he was never born
during the overwhelming moments in life I truly wish that too.
Satan got permission to test Job, don't think Job's was an isolated
occurrence, the Most High speaks to satan about you and I.
Satan and his demons know our names and our potential better than
us, upon our spiritual creation they were there with the Most High.
Scripture says He knew us before this world's foundation, we all
were designed with a purpose and direction to serve Him here on earth.
We were those elected, and selected to be His ambassadors, His
Hebrew nation upon our calling upon our physical birth.
We all had a time to walk in darkness fulfilling the deeds of sin as
we listened to the god of this world, and we did serve him well.
As I look back now at the person I used to be, I'm blessed to be alive
that we have a merciful Father, I'm glad to tell.
But where we once walked with satan we now listen to our Father
and satan is now our enemy and we are his enemy also.
So making our lives uncomfortable through circumstances, situations,
and testing just like Job, is what we experience I want you to know.
We all sang the Blues just being black in this country and knowing
who you are you rejoice but still sing the blues.
When you go back in scriptures you will find others who could have
sang the blues Moses, Daniel, Joseph, and other Hebrews.
Right now many of you are suffering afflictions and learning
to take it well, just one day at a time.
But angry, many of us get because of the weight of this flesh
but crying in disgust is certainly not a crime.
Job was angry and he didn't sin, he also didn't take his overwhelming
circumstance as well as some Christian ministers preach.
Job got angry with the Most High, he didn't understand what
was happening to him, but he was learning a lesson Yah had to teach.
Job gained more than he lost, after all the end of a matter is better
than the beginning Job basically had a new beginning in life.
He had a new attitude about a lot of things he even had 3 new
daughters and an even more loving wife.
Job could have sung the blues but upon his release from captivity
he sang praise for his heart was filled with Joy and delight.
For all of us who are singing the blues, just know just like Job, we
too will sing songs of praise for the end of our sorrow is in sight.
