I do NOT have a very high physical pain threshold. In fact, if I have to have dental
work done, they usually have to give me more Novocain than the average person
(though, I have heard that’s pretty common among red-heads). What about you?
How much physical pain can you endure? Or, maybe the bigger challenge for some of
us is the emotional pain, or mental anguish we have to deal with in this life.
It really isn’t a question of IF we will have to endure pain - but, WHEN. So, the real
challenge lies in how we react to it. Let’s notice how one man reacted to pain. His
wasn’t physical - it was emotional, psychological, mental anguish. When you read of
Job’s pain in the first chapter of the book of Job, you read of a man who lost every-
thing. He lost all of his earthly wealth, and he lost all of his children. I can’t even im-
agine.
But, when was the last time you looked at how Job reacted to the pain? Pay close
attention to these verses:
“Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and
worshipped. And he said, ‘Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I
return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the
Lord.’” (Job 1:20-21 - emphasis added)
When we’re in pain, when we’re suffering, we don’t usually think it’s a time for wor-
ship. But, perhaps we need to learn a lesson from Job. Perhaps it’s Job’s decision to
immediately focus on God, that carried him through the tragedies he endured. Per-
haps this ability to worship in dark times is what gave Job his famed patience.
The next time you find yourself in pain - regardless of what type of pain - don’t ne-
glect the opportunity to worship God. Instead, push yourself into His presence, and
allow your relationship with Him to heal your wounds.
