Job 3:25-26 | MHM | STEP | v. 25-26 : Even in the past, when Job was prosperous, he was always afraid that trouble might come. He says, “What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me. I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil” (Job 3:25-26 ). Job was careful and cautious during good times, always watching over his children and his household, but all his efforts could not prevent trouble. He did not trust in his wealth or expect his happiness to last forever, yet disaster still came. Job does not understand why God is punishing him, since he tried to do everything right. Remembering that trouble is common to everyone can help us not be surprised or overwhelmed when it comes. If we expect hard times, they can be easier to bear.
