Holding on is harder than letting go because it takes a lot more effort to hold on than to let go. Letting go is definitely the easy way out when the things we face are hard.

This would definitely be the case for Job who went from being the greatest man among those in the east (Job 1:3) to a man who is in poverty and pain because what he had was taken away that is his wealth and health. To let go of his faith to God was definitely the best option considering of what has happened to him and it seemed like God was absent. But this was Job's response

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart.

The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away, may the name of the Lord be praised." ( Job 1:21)

"...Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?" (Job 2:10)

What would you do when life gets hard, painful and doesnt make sense??

Would you run to God and hold on, or would you let go??

My prayer is that you would remain in God and never let go. Continue in Him so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. (1 John 2:28)
