Job 30:15 says, Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.  Job now turns from how those around him treated him to how he himself felt.  Job said that whichever way he turned, he felt that terror awaited him.  His welfare had blown away like the wind.  We should pray that we never feel so helpless, but if we do, we should always remember that God is with us in our suffering.  Verse sixteen says,  And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.  I believe that Job was saying that he was sure that he was going to die.  His days of suffering had finally taken away his hope of restoration.  We need to always simply put our faith in God and never give up hope.  Though I know Job had not given up his hope of being restored to God beyond the grave, he had given up hope for restoration in this life.  Even if we are suffering greatly, we need to remember that if we are faithful to God that we should leave our lives in His hands.  Verse seventeen says, My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.  Job said he was now skin and bone and could find no rest.  There is not doubt that Job was suffering greatly physically, but I still believe that his spiritual anguish is what caused his greatest suffering.   Verse eighteen states, By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.  I believe that Job was saying that even his clothes hurt him.  Even if he had been dressed in fine clothes, they would have still added to his suffering.  Just as Job could not have found permanent relief in the things of this world, neither can we.  In verse nineteen Job declares, He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.   We need to remember that Job believed that God was the direct cause of his suffering, even though he felt that he had done nothing to deserve it.  If we are going to faithfully follow God and give Him credit for our prosperity, we cannot accuse Him of abandoning us if we find ourselves in the deepest suffering.  We need to stand firmly in our faith that God will always be with us, if we are truly His by faith.  Verse twenty says, I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.  If we are followers of Christ, we may at times feel that God does not hear us when we cry out to Him, but we can be certain that he always does.  We cannot afford to become impatient in our faith, but must stand firm no matter what is happening in our lives.  Verse twenty one states, Thou art become cruel to me: with thy stronghand thou opposest thyself against me.  Job felt that God was treating him cruelly, but God does not treat people that way.  Even those that suffer God's punishment do not do so because of God's cruelty, because our punishment is because of our refusal to accept His forgiveness and follow His will.  Verse twenty two says, Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.  I believe that this was just Job's way of saying he felt that God had simply blown his life away.  Verse twenty three declares, For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.  Job believed that God would soon cause him to die and end his suffering.  We need to note that Job did not say that he himself was going to cause his own death, but even in his great suffering, he still placed his life in God's hands.  Verse twenty four says, Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.  Job said that beyond the grave God would no longer punish him.  As followers of Christ, this is the promise of God.  As for those who refuse to accept Christ as their Savior, this is not the case.  Verse twenty five asks, Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?  I believe that Job was saying that his actions proved that he was not hypocritical in life.  Verse twenty six states, When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.  Job then speaks once more of his current state.  He felt abandoned in the darkness of evil and unable to see the light of God.  We may at times feel the same way, but we need to hold to God's promise that He will never desert us if we are His. In the next five verses, Job continues to restate his suffering in his current condition.  Verse twenty seven says, My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.  Then verse twenty eight, I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation. Continuing in verse twenty nine, I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.  Then in verse thirty, My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.  Then Job concluded in verse thirty one, My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.  Job felt abandoned not only by those around him, but also by God as he wasted away awaiting death.  We need to claim beyond all doubt that no matter how much we may be suffering, no matter how many friends desert us, that God is with us forever if we are His through faith in the salvation that Christ gives to the world.
