Hello Everyone!!!
When we speak about pain and suffering, one of the first Bible characters we usually think of is JOB. The pain that he went through was something so severe. Pain and suffering is part and parcel of life. Whether one believes in God or not, all will experience pain and suffering one way or another. We may ask, “If God is love and He is almighty, why does He allow suffering?” Through the life of Job, we will learn how to navigate through pain and suffering and still glorify God through it all.
In the midst of all Job’s pain and suffering, he knew of and trusted in God's sovereignty, and was comforted by God's very presence. Do you respond to trials in the same way?
Then Job replied to the Lord:
“I know that you can do all things;
no purpose of yours can be thwarted.”
- Job 42:1-2
New International Version
Job loses everything, one after the other, with the last blow being the loss of his sons and daughters. Yet what was Job’s response? In spite of everything he suffered, he responded in WORSHIP.
At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worshipand said:
“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 1:20-21
New International Version
When God allowed Job to be tested physically through his health, Job still looked at God with willingness to worship and commit to Him. It kept Job going, even after discouragement from his own wife!
