When God begins to deal with us, we know it. He sends a storm our way. He begins to strip us down, to break us, to stop us in our ways, in our tracks, to bring us to an end of self. And we know it. Job knew it. God broke him. He humbled him. He laid him low in the dust. And Job felt the hand of God upon him. He knew this was of God. He knew the reality of what he was being brought through. And he recognised God's hand in it, God's sovereignty in it. And he longs to see God. He longs to come before him. He longs for God to take his hand off him. and show him mercy and grant him peace.
