Scripture Meditation No. 1589
AATHAVAN – Saturday, 14.06.2025
“My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.” — Job 16:16–17 (KJV)
Today’s meditation verse is a heartfelt expression of Job’s unbearable sorrow. The anguish of someone who once had everything but then lost it all cannot be measured—far greater than the pain of one who never had much to begin with. Job experienced such grief. That’s why he says, “My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death.”
In this world, those who suffer are often subjected to all kinds of judgmental talk. People may say, “If he had earned it honestly, the wealth would have lasted… He must have gained it through unjust means. That’s why he lost it all.” Job’s friends spoke just like that. But we read at the very beginning of the Book of Job that he was a righteous man:
“There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.” — Job 1:1 (KJV)
In today’s meditation verse, Job pleads, “Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.” In other words, even though he had done no wrong and had lived uprightly before God, he still faced overwhelming trials. And yet, he declared with unshakable resolve:
“As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment… All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.” — Job 27:2–4 (KJV)
Dear beloved, perhaps you too have faced such suffering. You may have lived a good life, yet today you find yourself having lost everything, with the future uncertain. In times like these, we must remain steadfast like Job. Let us not dwell on disheartening thoughts like, “What use is it to live uprightly?” Instead, let us strive to keep our eyes on God, just as Job did.
Like Job, let us not be distracted by what friends or family say about us. It is not the opinion of the world that testifies about our life, but God Himself. Job knew this truth when he declared:
“Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.” — Job 16:19 (KJV)
Though we may suffer even when our hands are innocent and our prayers are pure… though our faces may be tear-stained and the shadow of death may seem to loom before our eyes—we will not lose heart. We will remain firm, because our witness is in heaven. He will never allow us to be destroyed.
