Pain. Suffering. Trials. Tribulations. JOB: When Life Hurts
Job 1:1-22 NIV
Job 1:9-11 (TLB)
“Why shouldn’t he when you pay him so well?” Satan scoffed. 10 “You have always protected him and his home and his property from all harm. You have prospered everything he does—look how rich he is! No wonder he ‘worships’ you! 11 But just take away his wealth, and you’ll see him curse you to your face!”
God can turn anything around and use it for His glory and your good and make things better than they were before.
WHEN LIFE HURTS, REMEMBER:
1. Sometimes bad things HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE. 1:1-5
2. Nothing will touch you that God DOES NOT ALLOW.1:6-19
Matthew 25:41; 1 Peter 5:8; John 16:11; Revelation 12:10
God knows that with His help you can get through it.
God has faith in you.
TAKEAWAY: Until God opens a door, PRAISE HIM IN THE HALLWAY. 1:20-22 & 2:1-13
The Word is what God gives to you. The worship is what you give to Him.
What happens TO you is not as important as what happens IN you.
