Chief Editor~ Ricky Jean<\/em><\/p>\n

Another poignant argument I\u2019ve heard is that Job is a complainer and doesn\u2019t appreciate all that God has done for him. While that statement may be true; much like the accuser (Satan), I feel like those people are missing the point. <\/p>\n

Yes, Job has fallen on hard times, and may I add– by no fault of his own. Now could he have handled it better? Sure. I\u2019m positive an argument could be made for that as well.\u00a0\u00a0What I would like to point out; however, is that despite everything Job had to endure, God still had complete faith in him. (Job 1:8)\u00a0<\/b>Also, when one considers the extent of his troubles, and then proceeds to add his or herself in Job\u2019s shoes, it\u2019s not a stretch to say, our responses may have bordered on less than optimism, if not melancholy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise then to hear Job make such a response as, \u201cIf only my anguish could be weighed, and all my misery be placed on the scales! It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas\u201d (Job 6: 2-3) <\/b>Another person may say: ‘why did God allow him to suffer in the first place?’\u00a0<\/p>\n

While this may be another valid point, this too, would also be missing the point. In my opinion– the book of Job is meant to be an example for us to follow when we\u2019re going through hard times. His unwavering conviction towards God (despite persecution) is a hallmark of his character to be imitated. Personally, I found his honesty refreshing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m approaching almost ten years as a disciple, and I\u2019m not ashamed to say that some days have been less than stellar. Job\u2019s attitude wasn\u2019t always right, but at least it was truthful. This may be why God answered him in the manner that he did, \u201cWhere were you when I laid the earth\u2019s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!\u201d (Job 38: 4-5)<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Job needed to be reminded of who God was and thus he corrected his outlook on the scenario, while not completely tarnishing his righteousness. And I feel like that is the main point for us today– what is our attitude towards suffering in a godly life? Should we constantly expect the good without the bad? <\/p>\n

Can we plan for both?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
