There will always be those who accuse the people of God, just as Satan did Job. Unfortunately for Job, his friends were counted among those who accused him. Accusers are people who have concluded within themselves that they know why you are suffering. More often than not, such persons have not experienced a true growth encounter with God. This is not because it has not been offered but because accusers often run away from their hour on the threshing floor.
The threshing floor is a place where wheat is crushed and beaten so that it can be useful for food. God takes us all to His threshing floor. It is a place where our commitment to Him is cultivated. Our crushing may often come at the finger of an accuser and our God may ask us to trust Him through this injustice as did His Son. We look to Jesus, “the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls (Hebrews 12:2-3 NKJV)”.
Embrace the Threshing Floor.
