The Radio Teaching Ministry of Pastor Malcolm Wild
When Job was going through the testing that God allowed to happen to him, his friends said that he must have done something sinful to deserve it. They incorrectly thought that God was punishing him or simply abandoning him because of his shortcomings. Today, Pastor Malcolm is going to walk you through why that simply isn't the case. The Christian life isn't guaranteed to be easy, and it's not a sign of sin when you see bad things happen. What's important is to stay faithful to God during those times.
Have you ever felt like God has abandoned you? Like too many bad things have happened to you for God to possibly be there? As you look at Job today with Pastor Malcolm, you'll learn that you're definitely not alone. Job lost everything in his life and wondered why it could have happened. He didn't know why God would let so many bad things come to pass, and his faith was tested. But despite his sorrow and questions, he didn't turn his back on God, and he was eventually rewarded for his faithfulness.
Sometimes when the trials and tribulations come in life, there's no end in sight. Life can be overwhelming from sin, to responsibilities, to mental health; but through it all, God is there. Today, as you'll hear from Pastor Malcolm, God will bring about the hard times in your life for good. Just stay faithful to doing God's will. Don't turn your back on Him. It might seem like God has abandoned you or left you to deal with life on your own, but he's still there. You'll come out on the other side stronger and wiser.
Be careful who you consult for your spiritual guidance. Even the most well meaning people can tell you something that fundamentally is against Christian doctrine. So what do you do? Learn God's Word, and study it, Know it more and more. Spend time with God in prayer, seeking to know will for you. Today, Pastor Malcolm is going to show you good and bad examples of counsel in the life of Job when he was going through the hardest time of his life. God's ways are always superior to man's.
