The Suffering of Daniel      Daniel's story begins in the shadow of national tragedy. As a young man, likely in his mid-to-late teens, he was taken captive when Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem and carried many of Judah's nobility to Babylon (Dan 1:1–4). Torn from his homeland, stripped of freedom, and thrust into the heart of a pagan empire, Daniel entered a culture saturated with idolatry, sorcery, and political scheming. Babylon sought not only to enslave his body but to reprogram his mind, to erase his identity as a servant of the Lord and remake him into a loyal functionary of the empire. The king ordered that his name be changed, his education redirected, and his diet replaced with food from the royal table (Dan 1:5–7). Yet from the very beginning, “Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself” (Dan 1:8). Daniel was resolved to stand firm in his faith. He understood that his real allegiance was not to Babylon's king but to the God of heaven. In a foreign land, he refused to lose his spiritual identity.      Daniel's discipline, humility, and doctrinal integrity made him a standout in Babylon. He did not protest his captivity, rebel against authority, or seek escape through human means. Instead, he accepted his circumstances as part of God's sovereign plan and chose to function as an ambassador for the Lord in enemy territory. God rewarded his faithfulness by granting him “knowledge and intelligence in every branch of literature and wisdom,” and Daniel himself was given “understanding of all kinds of visions and dreams” (Dan 1:17). Through divine promotion, Daniel rose to positions of high influence under successive kings and empires, yet he never compromised his loyalty to God. Living in the center of a hostile, idolatrous culture, Daniel demonstrated that it is possible to maintain spiritual stability and grace orientation even when surrounded by corruption and pressure. Daniel understood that divine viewpoint, not environment, determines stability.      Suffering intensified with the passing years. Daniel's three companions—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—faced the fiery furnace when they refused to bow before Nebuchadnezzar's golden image (Dan 3:12–18). They told Nebuchadnezzar, “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us… but even if He does not, let it be known… that we are not going to serve your gods” (Dan 3:17–18). They were willing to die rather than dishonor God. Their deliverance from the furnace demonstrated divine power, but more importantly, it vindicated their faith and revealed God's glory before a watching pagan world. Thieme notes, “This historical event illustrates a tremendous principle in the doctrine of suffering. God has designed human suffering for the blessing of the believer. Blessing is only possible when there is a consistent daily intake of Bible doctrine, which leads to spiritual maturity and occupation with Christ.”[1] Likewise, Daniel himself faced the lions' den when he refused to alter his prayer life under Darius' decree (Dan 6:10). He understood that prayer was a lifeline to the God who sustained him.      Daniel's long exile, spanning roughly seventy years, was marked by pressure, promotion, and persecution. He served under multiple kings, from Nebuchadnezzar to Cyrus, and in each administration he maintained the same spiritual consistency. Though elevated to positions of immense political power, he remained humble before God, recognizing that all authority is delegated by the Sovereign of heaven (Dan 2:21). His prophetic visions and intercessory prayers reveal a man whose heart was never seduced by Babylon's wealth or wisdom but fixed on God's promises to Israel. Through testing, isolation, and exposure to pagan corruption, Daniel became the living embodiment of grace under pressure, a believer functioning in the devil's world without being conformed to it (Rom 12:1-2; 1 John 2:15-16).      Daniel's captivity demonstrates the divine principle that adversity is God's classroom for spiritual advance. Like Joseph in Egypt and David in the wilderness, Daniel learned that promotion comes not from human favor but from the Lord (Psa 75:6–7). His entire life illustrates that faith is most often tested in crisis, and that true stability is the result of divine viewpoint thinking applied under pressure. Through exile and affliction, God transformed a Hebrew captive into a statesman-prophet, refining his faith through suffering and using his life as a witness to Gentile rulers. Daniel's story proves that spiritual victory does not require favorable circumstances, only a heart anchored in divine truth. In every generation, his life stands as a model of how to live faithfully in a pagan world without losing one's spiritual integrity: “The people who know their God will display strength and take action” (Dan 11:32).

The book of Ruth unfolds in the moral collapse of the judges, yet it reveals the steady hand of God directing a few believers who chose to trust Him when the nation at large did not. Ruth, a Moabite widow, aligned herself with Naomi and with the God of Israel, and the Lord guided her to Boaz, a man of integrity who fulfilled the role of kinsman-redeemer and foreshadowed the greater Redeemer to come. What begins with famine, death, and despair ends with restoration, joy, and the establishment of the line that leads to David and ultimately to Christ. The narrative shows how God advances His plan through ordinary people who operate on Bible doctrine, exhibit loyal love, and remain faithful in adversity. Even in the darkest generation, His grace is never absent and His providence never idle.

The Suffering of King David      David's fugitive years under Saul (1 Sam 22–24) were not wasted time but a period of divine training and refinement. Though anointed king by Samuel (1 Sam 16:13), David was not yet ready to rule. God enrolled him in the school of suffering, isolation, and rejection to develop the inner character necessary for kingship. In the cave of Adullam, David found himself surrounded not by Israel's elite but by society's outcasts, “everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented” (1 Sam 22:2). These men became his first followers, and God used them to teach David grace, compassion, and leadership under pressure. In the desert, David learned to live by divine viewpoint, to lean on God's sufficiency instead of human resources. His classroom was the wilderness; his lessons were hardship, endurance, and faith. Like Israel's desert testing, David's adversity exposed the contents of his soul and taught him to rest in God's perfect timing and immutable faithfulness (Deut 8:2).      During this season, David composed two psalms that record the anguish and growth of his soul (Psa 57; 142). Psalm 57 was written “when he fled from Saul in the cave” (Psa 57:1a), likely at Adullam (1 Sam 22:1). Here, David's faith triumphed over fear. Surrounded by danger, David prayed, “Be gracious to me, O God… for my soul takes refuge in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge until destruction passes by” (Psa 57:1b). Though hunted, he chose praise over panic, saying, “My heart is steadfast, O God… I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples” (Psa 57:7, 9). Adversity was used as a vehicle to expedite his growth, and David learned that security rests not in circumstances but in divine stability. Psalm 142, written later “when he was in the cave,” probably at En-gedi (1 Sam 24:1–3), reveals a soul exhausted by prolonged pressure. David wrote, “No one cares for my soul” (Psa 142:4), capturing the loneliness of exile and the silence of isolation. Yet even there, David refocused on the Lord, saying, “I cried out to You, O Lord; I said, ‘You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living'” (Psa 142:5). According to Ross, “The faithful must depend on the LORD completely when they are in grave difficulties because there is no one else who truly cares for them.”[1] When human support failed, divine grace sustained him. Through these psalms, we see David's soul pressed, purified, and reshaped into a man of faith.      The results of that refinement soon became evident. Twice David was providentially placed in a position to kill Saul, first in the cave at En-gedi (1 Sam 24:1–7) and later at the hill of Hachilah (1 Sam 26:7–11). Both times David restrained himself, refusing to violate divine authority. David said, “The Lord forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the Lord's anointed” (1 Sam 24:6). This statement reveals a soul stabilized by Bible doctrine and governed by reverence for God's sovereignty. David refused to advance through human manipulation or self-promotion. His patience demonstrated that he had learned to wait for the Lord's vindication, as he said to Saul, “May the Lord judge between you and me… but my hand shall not be against you” (1 Sam 24:12). His restraint was the strength of humility developed through divine viewpoint thinking and prolonged testing (faith in action).      These wilderness years, likely spanning seven to ten years, formed the core of David's divine preparation. Every deprivation was a test; every trial was a lesson in grace orientation, faith-rest, and obedience under pressure. When David finally ascended to the throne, he ruled as a man whose soul had been tempered by adversity. The Lord had fulfilled His purpose, confirming the principle He'd spoken to Israel, “He humbled you and let you be hungry… that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord” (Deut 8:3). Thus, David's wilderness experience was a means of spiritual sanctification. The very afflictions that threatened his life became the instruments of his spiritual growth. By waiting on the Lord and trusting His timing, David demonstrated genuine humility and teachability, which are marks of a man after God's own heart (1 Sam 13:14; Acts 13:22). The Suffering of Daniel      Daniel's story begins in the shadow of national tragedy. As a young man, likely in his mid-to-late teens, he was taken captive when Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem and carried many of Judah's nobility to Babylon (Dan 1:1–4). Torn from his homeland, stripped of freedom, and thrust into the heart of a pagan empire, Daniel entered a culture saturated with idolatry, sorcery, and political scheming. Babylon sought not only to enslave his body but to reprogram his mind, to erase his identity as a servant of the Lord and remake him into a loyal functionary of the empire. The king ordered that his name be changed, his education redirected, and his diet replaced with food from the royal table (Dan 1:5–7). Yet from the very beginning, “Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself” (Dan 1:8). Daniel was resolved to stand firm in his faith. He understood that his real allegiance was not to Babylon's king but to the God of heaven. In a foreign land, he refused to lose his spiritual identity. Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.   [1] Allen P.

Zuzana Kubovčíková Šebová patrí bezpochyby k najenergickejším zjavom slovenskej scény. Hoci ju diváci milujú najmä pre komediálny talent, v súkromí je predovšetkým mamou dvoch synov, pri ktorých sa, ako sama hovorí, ani na chvíľu nezastaví. V najnovšom rozhovore otvorene priznala, že výchova chlapcov je celkom iný svet. „Od prvého momentu vidím, že muži majú potrebu adrenalínu. Jedna noha na obrubníku, druhá v kanáli, stále chcú súperiť,“ opisuje so smiechom rodinnú dynamiku. Zároveň však dodáva, že sa konečne naučila nepodliehať tlaku okolia na dokonalé materstvo. „Už sa nenechám valcovať očakávaniami. Chcem len, aby boli deti spokojné a šťastné, a aby sa nebáli povedať čokoľvek, čo ich trápi,“ hovorí úprimne. Okrem rodičovstva sa herečka dotkla aj svojej kariéry, v ktorej si čoraz viac užíva aj vážne polohy. Prezradila kuriózny príbeh o tom, ako získala rolu psychiatričky v českej minisérii Monyová. „Režisérka si ma vybrala vďaka dvom vetám, ktoré ma videla povedať vo filme spred ôsmich rokov. Hrať v tom tichu a vážnosti bolo pre mňa niečo úplne nové a vzácne,“ spomína Zuzana, ktorá sa už čoskoro objaví aj v novej filmovej komédii Šviháci. Diváci ju tiež majú možnosť vidieť v programoch ako Inkognito alebo Dobre vedieť na obrazovke JOJky. V novej epizóde relácie Rozhovory so Zdenom Gáfrikom sa dozviete aj to, prečo má Zuzana stále slabosť pre Žiar nad Hronom a prečo tam nedávno zazvonila cudzím ľuďom pri dverách. Otvorila tému nebezpečenstva sociálnych sietí, pred ktorými svoje deti vedome chráni, a vysvetlila, prečo je podľa nej dnešný tlak na ženy neporovnateľne väčší ako v minulosti. To a ešte omnoho viac v novej epizóde.

Ethan is joined by old friend and teacher Adriana DiFazio for a wide ranging discussion of the limitations of a Western Buddhism that focuses on individualism, individual liberation, and "secular" practice.

Her teaching emphasizes the dharma as a collective and liberatory practice, grounded in both personal and systemic transformation.

In this episode, I talk with Brian Recker about his new book Hell Bent and the ways fear-based theology has shaped so many of our spiritual imaginations. Brian grew up learning about hell and God in the same breath, and he unpacks how that fusion created a system built on binary thinking, punishment, and spiritual insecurity. We explore his journey from fundamentalism to evangelical ministry to a reimagined faith centered on love, liberation, and a vision Jesus preached. We get into Gehenna, apocalyptic language, why evangelicals cling to certainty, how fear distorts our understanding of God, and what it means to live as people who bring heaven to earth rather than create hell on it. This is a conversation about reclaiming our belovedness, deconstructing fear, and rediscovering a spirituality that looks like compassion, justice, and the radical welcome of Jesus.Brian Recker, M.Div, is a public theologian, speaker, and writer on Christian spirituality without exclusionary dogma. The son of a Baptist preacher and an alum of the fundamentalist Bob Jones University, he spent eight years as an evangelical pastor before deconstructing his faith to find a more inclusive spirituality. He now speaks about following Jesus without fear of hell on his popular Instagram account and his Substack, Beloved. He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, and has four children and a rescue pup named Maev.Brian's Book:Hell BentBrian's Recommendations:Reason, Faith, and RevolutionActsConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

The Suffering of Job      Job's suffering began abruptly, without warning and without explanation, when God permitted Satan to test his integrity. Though Job was “blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil” (Job 1:1), divine sovereignty allowed undeserved suffering as a means of glorifying God and refining Job's soul. Zuck wisely states, “The Book of Job addresses the mystery of unmerited misery, showing that in adversity God may have other purposes besides retribution for wrongdoing.”[1] Satan challenged Job's motives, accusing him of serving God only because of prosperity (Job 1:9–11). To silence the accusation, God removed the hedge of protection and permitted adversity to strip Job of his possessions, children, and health. Job's wealth, family, and comfort were gone in a day, and his body was reduced to pain and decay. Yet even in shock and sorrow, Job responded with doctrinal stability: “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21). His reaction reveals that spiritual maturity is measured not by prosperity but by the capacity to think divine viewpoint under pressure. Zuck states: "It is truly remarkable that Job followed adversity with adoration, woe with worship. Unlike so many people, he did not give in to bitterness; he refused to blame God for wrongdoing (cf. Job 2:10). Job's amazing response showed Satan was utterly wrong in predicting that Job would curse God. Devotion is possible without dollars received in return; people can be godly apart from material gain. Job's saintly worship at the moment of extreme loss and intense grief verified God's words about Job's godly character."[2]      As the suffering prolonged, Job's emotional and physical agony intensified. The silence of heaven pressed upon him, and his so-called friends (Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar) added psychological torment through their false theology of retribution. They insisted that Job's suffering was punishment for secret sin, reflecting human viewpoint reasoning divorced from grace. Job defended his innocence, yet his soul wavered between confusion and faith. His lamentations revealed an inner struggle between human viewpoint self-pity and divine viewpoint trust. The conflict of the soul is where doctrine must move from theory to reality. Job learned that faith must rest on who and what God is, not on temporal blessings or human understanding. Suffering exposed the inadequacy of human rationalization and forced Job to focus on the immutable character of God. It was a suffering for purification.      When God finally answered from the whirlwind, He did not explain the reasons for Job's suffering; He revealed His own infinite wisdom and sovereign control. Confronted with God's majesty, Job recognized the smallness of his finite perspective and confessed, “I have declared that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me” (Job 42:3). This was a display of humility. Job's faith had matured from knowledge about God to experiential confidence in Him. Job said, “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You” (Job 42:5). According to Zuck, “This thrilling view of God, probably spiritual insight, not physical vision, deepened his perspective and appreciation of God. What Job now knew of God was incomparable to his former ideas, which were really ignorant.”[3] God restored Job's fortunes, but the true reward was not material, but spiritual transformation. Through suffering, Job became a trophy of grace, proving that mature faith endures not because of what it receives, but because of whom it knows. Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.   [1] Roy B.

Herečka Petra Dubayová sa za ostatné roky stala jednou z najobľúbenejších tvárí slovenských obrazoviek. Diváci si ju zamilovali ako odvážnu Evu Dušekovú v dobovom seriáli Dunaj, k vašim službám. Len nedávno sa jej život obrátil naruby, keď sa stala mamou a miesto pred kamerami aj na doskách, ktoré znamejú svet, dočasne vymenila za materské povinnosti. Narodenie dcérky Vesny prinieslo do života rodáčky novú dynamiku. Ako sama priznáva, materstvo ju oslobodilo. „Je to hrozne dobré, že si dovolím nebyť na seba možno taká prísna, ako som bola predtým,“ prezradila s úsmevom usadená v kresle v našom štúdiu. Spolu s partnerom, hercom Jakubom Jablonským, tak denne prežívajú nielen výzvy rodičovstva, ale aj nároky života v umeleckej brandži, ktorá ich oboch paradoxne spojila, no zároveň vystavila tlaku verejnosti. V rozhovore pre reláciu Rozhovory so Zdenom Gáfrikom sa herečka dotkla aj veľmi osobných a znepokojivých tém. Jednou z nich bola odvrátená tvár slávy, na ktorú, ako hovorí, nebola pripravená. „Psychicky som na to nebola pripravená. V niečom by som bola radšej, keby ma tí ľudia nepoznali,“ priznala úprimne. Nerátala vari s tým, či nebodaj nesnívala o tom, že keď raz prerazí v umeleckom svete, dosiahne aj popularitu a slávu? Dubayovej odpoveď v našom rozhovore vyššie je odzbrojujúco úprimná.  Málokto vie, že Petriným pôvodným snom nebolo herectvo, ale spev, ktorému sa venovala od detstva. Práve táto všestrannosť  ju formuje. Dnes patrí k umelcom, ktorí hľadajú hĺbku v každej postave a prácu pred kamerou a na javisku vníma takmer ako dve odlišné profesie. „Podľa mňa sú to až akoby dve povolania,“ vysvetľuje svoj pohľad. Herectvo pre ňu nie je len prácou, ale aj cestou k sebapoznaniu. „Určite to pomáha v poznaní seba samého,“ dodáva. V rozhovore s Petrou Dubayovou otvorili aj ďalšie témy. Ako prežívala natáčanie svojej seriálovej smrti? Prečo považuje divadlo za svoju srdcovku, no filmárčinu za inú profesiu? Ako jej a Jakubovi Jablonskému pomáha spoločné povolanie zvládať tlak médií? Ako vníma spoločenský a politický vývoj v krajine a nad čím sa ako rodičia s partnerom zamýšľajú pri plánoch do budúcnosti. Dozviete sa ešte omnoho viac v novej epizóde Rozhovorov so Zdenom Gáfrikom.

NOTICE: This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! What is there to say that hasn't already been said about South Dakota's 24-17 win over South Dakota State on Saturday, or already been written in columns like this one by Matt Zimmer or this one by John Gaskins?As it turns out, of course, plenty.In their weekly "Nobody's Listening Anyway" podcast from Gibs Sports Bar in Sioux Falls, Zim and John sink their teeth into the following aftermatch topics:* Are both teams now playoff-worthy at seven wins apiece, no matter what happens in the No. 17 Coyotes' final game at No. 21 Southern Illinois on Saturday, or the No. 16 Jackrabbits' two games remaining against No. 14 Illinois State and at No. 13 North Dakota?* Why does Zim feel USD has what it takes to go on a run and contend for the national championship?* For that matter, what can SDSU's ceiling still be, with or without Chase Mason?* Would SDSU have won the game if Chase Mason had played?* How can the Jacks win either or both of their last two games if Chase Mason doesn't return?* How do we look at NDSU and UND after the Fighting Sioux almost took down the Bison?* Should Jacks fans be upset about the coaching this year, particularly the last three games?* How do we now look at the final season of Aidan Bouman and his USD legacy no matter what?* How do we see the Missouri Valley Football Conference's quality now that we've seen several Top 25 teams play each other close?* Is NDSU still head-and-shoulders above the rest of the Valley, if not the entire FCS?Then, some words about Augustana and University of Sioux Falls suffering blowout home losses in the snow. How much do those losses hurt the Div. II Sioux Falls teams' postseason picture?Next, a review of the wins for No. 1 Brandon Valley and No. 2 Lincoln in the Class 11AAA state semifinals, setting up a rematch of last year's championship game, where the Patriots repeated as champions.Will it be a Lincoln three-peat? Mark Gronowski continued to rip off monster runs and even had a couple clutch passes in Iowa's 18-16 loss to Oregon. Is Tim Tebow (Light) a fair comparison for what the former Jackrabbit has brought to Iowa City? Even further, have the Hawkeyes wasted Gronowski's arm and throwing ability by becoming so run-heavy? Finally, an examination of the wild pendulum swings of J.J. McCarthy. After a dagger-throwing, season-saving win in Detroit, the Vikings quarterback regressed to rookie mode in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, but how much was he really to blame? How much slack should we cut him and how much time should we give him?And we dare bring it up — can we now say things would have gone better if Minnesota signed Aaron Rodgers?

What if giving could be joyful instead of guilt-driven? In this episode, Jamie Goodwin, professor at Wheaton College, shares how her background in global churches, journalism, and teaching led her to a deeper view of generosity.

From Cuban “bean crossing” traditions to pandemic-era giving at the family table, Jamie helps us think about how generosity shows up in real life. This episode challenges us to lead with grace, build trust, and create inclusive spaces where giving feels meaningful—not performative.

Lenka Ježová patrí k tváram politickej publicistiky na Slovensku. Diváci ju poznajú ako nekompromisnú, no zároveň pokojnú moderátorku, ktorá sa nebojí klásť politikom aj nepríjemné otázky. Práca v neustálom napätí, ovplyvnená rýchlosťou sociálnych sietí, si však vyberá svoju daň. Ako sama s úsmevom priznáva, pocit, že jej deň by potreboval viac hodín, je jej dôverne známy. „Každý deň mám pocit, že 24 hodín mi nestačí,“ hovorí v úvode rozhovoru tvár relácie Politika 24. Dôvodom je podľa nej obrovské kvantum práce, ktoré dnes novinárom dávajú samotní politici, najmä vďaka sociálnym sieťam. „Kedysi nám stačilo ísť na tlačovú konferenciu, dnes musíme strážiť oveľa viac zdrojov. Práca je náročnejšia ako v minulosti,“ vysvetľuje zmenu v novinárskej profesii. Intenzita a neustály tlak vedú podľa nej k javu, ktorý je v brandži bežný. „Neexistuje novinár, ktorý by už aspoň trikrát nevyhorel,“ hovorí otvorene s tým, že psychohygiena je pre ňu kľúčová. V náročných diskusiách jej pomáha analytické myslenie a schopnosť nenechať sa vtiahnuť do politického boja. „My tam nie sme od toho, aby sme bojovali s politikom. Sme tam od toho, aby sme kládli otázky za ľudí,“ zdôrazňuje. V relácii Rozhovory so Zdenom Gáfrikom sme otvorili aj ďalšie témy. Ako sa postupne prepracovala od recenzií hardvéru a relácií o investovaní až k vrcholovej politike? V čom ju limitujú jej české korene a kedy jej v živom vysielaní „ujde“ čeština? Prečo je podľa nej najhoršie, keď novinár alebo politik uverí sám sebe? A aký odkaz má pre mladé ženy, ktoré o sebe pochybujú? Dozviete sa ešte omnoho viac v novej epizóde Rozhovorov so Zdenom Gáfrikom.

Dr. Howell talks with Rev. Kate Murphy, pastor of The Grove in Charlotte and author of Lost, Hidden, Small: Finding the Way of Jesus Where We Never Think to Look. She reflects on the gap between the Jesus we meet in Scripture and the habits of the modern church, and why seeking God in discomfort, smallness, and unlikely places can reshape our faith. Rev. Murphy earned both an M.Div. and an STM from Boston University School of Theology.

Aos cinquenta, a mulher brasileira vive no centro da tempestade. Assume o papel típico da Geração Sanduíche, dividida entre pais que envelhecem depressa e filhos que demoram a assumir a própria vida. Carrega trabalho, casa, expectativas e um corpo que pede cuidado. Nesse turbilhão, olha para o parceiro e encontra alguém parado no tempo. É nesse contraste que o Divórcio Prateado floresce.O Brasil registrou 440.827 divórcios em 2023. Foram 77.725 separações envolvendo mulheres acima dos cinquenta, quase um quarto do total. Houve alta de 4,9 por cento em relação ao ano anterior, além de 47,4 divórcios para cada 100 casamentos. O tempo médio de união caiu para 13,8 anos. Trinta por cento das separações acontecem justamente nessa faixa etária, e a iniciativa parte delas em cerca de 70 por cento dos casos.Lá fora, o cenário ecoa. Nos Estados Unidos, o divórcio entre pessoas com mais de sessenta e cinco anos triplicou desde 1990. Entre os cinquenta mais, dobrou. Uma onda global que revela um padrão claro.A vida inteira pode ser vista em quatro blocos de 8 mil dias. Infância e juventude somam o primeiro. A fase adulta jovem vai até quarenta e sete. A adulta tardia chega aos sessenta e cinco. Depois vem a longevidade, até os oitenta e cinco ou mais. Aos cinquenta, ela está no início do terceiro bloco, com mais dezesseis mil dias pela frente. É quase uma segunda vida adulta, e ela sente esse chamado.A psicanálise explica bem essa virada. Quando ela diz que ele a aborrece, fala da morte simbólica do desejo. É ausência de troca, de conversa viva, de projeto conjunto. A sexualidade feminina depois dos cinquenta não se apaga. Fica mais consciente e intensa. Ela quer presença emocional e mental. Quer alguém que caminhe ao lado. Quando ele não se move, o desejo dela perde lugar.Ela pensa no futuro. Ele vive no passado. Ela se reinventa. Ele repousa na ideia de fim de estrada. O casamento vira pouso forçado. E ela, que já sustenta meio mundo, não aceita sustentar também a inércia emocional dele.Então olha para os próximos 8 mil dias e escolhe. O divórcio não é ruptura. É reorganização. É a mulher dizendo que não vai sobreviver à vida que resta. Vai vivê-la.

The Suffering of the Psalmist      The Psalmist wrote, “Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I keep Your word” (Psa 119:67). The word translated “went astray” is שָׁגַג (shāgag). According to HALOT it means “to make a mistake inadvertently, unwittingly…to go astray.”[1] It connotes moral or spiritual deviation (cf. Prov 5:23; Isa 53:6). Ross states, “The verb (שָׁגגַ) is used in Leviticus for unintentional sins; but here it probably includes rationalized, deliberate sins because he was wandering from the way of God. He was not walking by faith in obedience to the word, and so he suffered some affliction at the hands of the wicked; but now he was keeping God's oracle, the word “keep” (שָׁמַר) referring to a meticulous observance of all that God required in his covenant.”[2] The significance is that the psalmist admits he was drifting from obedience, not necessarily into outright rebellion, but into carelessness or neglect of God's Word. The affliction became God's means of correction, turning his wandering into renewed obedience. Thus, the term highlights human tendency to stray and God's faithful use of discipline to restore. A few verses later he states, “It is good for me that I was afflicted, so that I may learn Your statutes” (Psa 119:71). Affliction is seen as a teacher that drives God's people back to His Word. Ross adds, “The psalmist is able to acknowledge that his affliction worked for his good because it forced him to learn more of God's plan revealed in his word. In learning through adversity, he discovered the word God personally revealed in human language was far more valuable than silver or gold [Psa 119:72].”[3] Then, the psalmist states, “I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me” (Psa 119:75). Ross states: "The affliction he has been experiencing came from God, even though it was through arrogant oppressors. The principle was laid down in the experience of Israel in the wilderness: God tested them to see if they would obey or not (Deut 8:16). Those who understand the ways of God know that ultimately it is his plan to exalt the righteous and destroy the wicked, but that in his wisdom he often humbles the righteous before exalting them."[4]      Taken together, these verses trace the movement from wandering, to correction, to obedience, and finally to worshipful recognition of God's faithful purposes. They teach that affliction, far from being wasted, is a tool in God's hand to sanctify His people and anchor them more firmly in His Word. We don't like trials or suffering, and we often ask God to remove them, much like Paul asked God to remove his “thorn in the flesh” (2 Cor 12:7). However, we find that most of the time God chooses not to remove our difficulty, like He did not remove Paul's (2 Cor 12:8-9), and we must learn that what He does not remove, He intends for us to deal with, and this by faith (2 Cor 12:10; cf. 2 Cor 5:7; Heb 10:38; 11:6). The Suffering of Joseph      Joseph's life stands as one of Scripture's clearest demonstrations of how God employs suffering to shape the faith and character of His people. Betrayed by his brothers and cast into a pit, Joseph was sold into slavery and carried away to Egypt (Gen 37:23–28). There he endured the humiliation of serving as a foreigner in Potiphar's house, and though he prospered by God's favor, his integrity in resisting Potiphar's wife led to false accusations and unjust imprisonment (Gen 39:1–20). Even in prison, where he was forgotten by those he had helped (Gen 40:23), Joseph displayed remarkable faithfulness, refusing bitterness and maintaining trust in God's providential hand. Each stage of his trial pressed him deeper into dependence upon the Lord, refining his character for the weighty responsibilities that awaited him. His hardships were not incidental but instrumental in God's design, preparing him to serve as second only to Pharaoh and to become a channel of blessing to countless lives.      Joseph consistently interpreted his life from the perspective of God's providence, not merely in the well-known statement of Genesis 50:20. When he first revealed himself to his brothers, he sought to comfort them with the assurance that their sin, though grievous, was under divine control: “Do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life” (Gen 45:5). He went further, declaring, “God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance. Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God” (Gen 45:7–8). In both statements, Joseph acknowledged the reality of human betrayal but deliberately framed it within the larger purposes of God. He viewed his sufferings as divine instruments for the preservation of life and the fulfillment of covenantal promises.      Later, after Jacob's death, Joseph's brothers again feared retaliation, but Joseph reaffirmed the same perspective, saying: “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive” (Gen 50:20). This statement serves as the theological climax of his narrative, demonstrating how God overruled human evil for His own purposes. According to Radmacher, “God works His good plan even through the evil plans of evil people. Even the worst events can be used in the hand of kindly Providence for His good.”[5] Even at the end of his life, Joseph's confidence remained fixed on God's providence. Altogether, Joseph voiced this divine perspective at least four times (Gen 45:5; 45:7–8; 50:20; 50:24–25), revealing a mature faith that consistently interpreted suffering through the lens of God's sovereign care. The Suffering of Moses      Moses' life reveals how God employs prolonged suffering and repeated trials to shape His servants into men of spiritual depth and usefulness. After killing the Egyptian, Moses fled into exile, spending forty years in Midian as a shepherd (Ex 2:15–25). This season of obscurity was not wasted but was God's classroom for humility and preparation. Though Moses had been educated in all the wisdom of Egypt (Acts 7:22), he needed the quiet discipline of the desert to unlearn self-reliance and to grow in patience and dependence on God. The Lord used these years of hiddenness to refine his character and to equip him with the endurance necessary for leading Israel. This long exile reminds believers that God often uses seasons of difficulty, waiting, and obscurity as essential training grounds for future service. Moses would later emerge not as the impulsive prince of Egypt but as the meek servant whom God could use to shepherd His people. Wiersbe states: "The man who was “mighty in word and deed” is now in the lowly pastures taking care of stubborn sheep, but that was just the kind of preparation he needed for leading a nation of stubborn people. Israel was God's special flock (Psa 100:3) and Moses His chosen shepherd. Like Joseph's thirteen years as a slave in Egypt and Paul's three years' hiatus after his conversion (Gal 1:16-17), Moses' forty years of waiting and working prepared him for a lifetime of faithful ministry. God doesn't lay hands suddenly on His servants but takes time to equip them for their work."[6]      When God called Moses to return to Egypt, the trials intensified. He faced the hardened opposition of Pharaoh (Ex 5–12), who resisted every divine demand, bringing repeated conflict and mounting pressure. Beyond this, Moses bore the weight of constant complaints from the Israelites themselves, who murmured against him at the Red Sea and in the wilderness over water and food (Ex 14–17). Such trials might have broken a lesser man, but through them God deepened Moses' humility and dependence. Scripture later records that “the man Moses was very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth” (Num 12:3). His humility came as he suffered hardship—first in Midian's solitude, then in Pharaoh's defiance, and finally in Israel's stubbornness. Each trial stripped Moses of self-confidence and taught him to rest in God's power and presence. Thus, Moses' life illustrates that suffering, though painful, is God's tool to produce humility, endurance, and spiritual maturity in His people, preparing them for greater responsibility and usefulness in His service. The pathway to spiritual maturity sometimes runs though the valley of hardship and suffering. Steven R.
