Sorrow: Why did I not die at birth?

"'Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God.' Job received his answer when the Lord spoke to him out of the whirlwind, and said, 'Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?' What God said to him was not so much a vindication of the ways of providence, but a revelation of his matchless power as the Creator and the Ruler of the universe; and, though men may not like to hear it, yet there is, in the thunder of God's power, an answer, which, though it may not always answer the sceptic, but ultimately overpower and silence him. As for God's child, he sits down in the shadow of that black cloud which is the canopy of Deity, and he is well content to be still in the presence of the Lord of the whole earth." - C. H. Spurgeon, The Sorrowful Man's Questions


 Look to imitate him who sits down in the shadow of that black cloud, that canopy, and be still in the presence of the Lord. He is more than capable to deliver you from trouble. Rest and be satisfied in him, who is the Vindicator of our souls and the drink that restores our thirst. Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. Do not build up your store house on earth. If God taketh from you, do not question accuse him of taking what doesn't belong to him. Do not accuse God with your lips or within your heart of being crafty and artfully devious. For it will not go well for you! 


John 10:10, Jesus came that your joy may abound and that your store house might be laid up in him. Friend, do not question and ask, "Why did I not die at birth, come out from the womb and expire (Job 3:11)?" How could you, oh Lord, take from me? Can I not discern the cause of my calamity? Spurgeon says, "Divine Sovereignty is an ocean without a bottom." I shall not be in want. The Lord is my refuge, my salvation, and my everlasting. Say, "I will rejoice in the Lord, the Savior of my delight. I shall never lack or despair in the night of my most darkest moment."
