Do Something—High SchoolSample

The book of Job in the Bible is one of those books we don’t typically spend a lot of time in. It can be confusing and depressing. In Job, we read about a man whose whole life falls apart. He loses everything—his family, his land, his money. He has nothing left. Worst of all, the friends don’t exactly do a great job of being the kind of friends you want to have around in a tough season. Which is what makes what Job says here so important. In all that went wrong in his life, Job continued to see God as He really was, and not just what his experiences could have made him think about God. In other words, Job was able to praise God when life was good, but even more amazing, when he experienced so many difficult things, Job was still able to say that God—even there—can bring light. 

Today, no matter how dark circumstances are in your life or the world around you, remember, God brings light. And one of the ways He does it is by using us. Look for a way to bring light to someone today.
