Building God's Kingdom, God's Way!
Job Responds to His Trials.
When Job lost everything that he had, only four men came alone to tell him about the terrible news. Why alone? Why those men? Why me?
When Job lost everything that he had, only four men came alone to tell him about the terrible news. Why alone? Why those men? Why me?
When I think of just getting pummeled with bad news, I can’t help but think of Job. Not the whole story of Job, just the really bad day that got it all started. Listen. Read Job 1:13-22.
What is your rainy day plan when life is unfair?
Lessons on true worship from Job NO SERMON NOTES
Very seldom do we get to live life in ideal circumstances. The way we imagined life is rarely the way it plays out. No one who is an alcoholic or a drug addict set out to become that. We find that things in life break,a nd usually they break at the most inopportune time. At those times, we have a choice. Do we quit. Do we join the list of complainers who sit in their situations and do nothing but complain. Or do we do as Job did, and pick up from what he had and praise God? Many of us are dealing with broken things in life. Sometimes in life, we have to quit complaining and move on. Life is not fair, but that does not mean that life is ruined. What we decide to do in moments like that, determine how life will go. We must learn to play the hand we are dealt, and not bemoan the one we wanted. Sometimes things do happen in life. Some things life are our own fault. But when these things happen, we cannot stay on the sideline. We have to do the best we can do with what we have left. It is not what God gives us that matters, it is what we do with it that matters. In the parable of the talents, the man who received only one talent had the same opportunity to be blessed as the one who received five, but he chose to check out and do nothing with it. Some say that they won't do anything if they cannot do it perfectly. God is not interested in perfect, He is perfect and does not need us do that. He wants us to do the best we can with what He gives us. Even if we seem to be down to nothing, we really are not. We still have God. Job still had God and he chose to move forward with that. In the darkness of the situation he was in, Job did not make a life changing decision. He continued to praise and worship God no matter what. Do not make a life altering decision in the dark. Wait for the light that WILL come. When life is dark, we must live by what we received in the light. God knew when He put us here that life would not be perfect. In side of us is everything we need to handle all in life that we face. So what do we do when we are down to nothing? We pick up the pieces and do the best we can with what we have left.
