THE SAME GOD
As present-day readers of the Bible, we have a unique perspective because we know how the story ends. Jesus. He came down to earth and lived among sinners and ultimately died to set us free from our sin. He’s promised that there will come a day when death will be defeated once and for all. Pain, suffering, grief, and loss will be no more.
“But take heart, I have overcome the world” - Jesus
Tough times and periods of suffering and grief are a harsh reality that we face in this broken world. But there is good news – Jesus has overcome it all. That is the hope we can cling to when life feels too hard.
For the time being, we can lean into God and His word in the Bible to guide us on this life journey.
The Old Testament teaches us a lot about the practice of lament so that’s where we’ll spend a lot of our time in this study. We’ll be observing how different people throughout scripture (even Jesus!) lamented in their times of grief.
Ask Yourself and Journal:
-What does it look like for me to “take heart” during the hard times?
-What did I learn about God in the passages I read?
-What are some attributes that I could use to describe Him?
Pause to Pray: Jesus, I don’t always see your plan and purpose during times of pain and suffering. But I choose to trust that your ways are always better. Open my heart and my mind to your will and your ways. Help me to draw closer to you in those moments when I feel overwhelmed.
