Running To Win

Words of Wisdom From a Young Man, Part 2 of 2 (God, Why Me?)

July 23, 2018

In many ways, God is hidden from us. He is too big for anyone to comprehend. God tested a man named Job, who then found wisdom by discussing his plight with a young man named Elihu. Is God big enough to superintend our suffering?

Tough questions must be faced. But there are questions and mysteries we may never fully fathom. Every generation needs to learn some key lessons anew, and it’s our turn as we look at the book of Job. 
July 20, 2018
“When I die, will I live again?” That’s the question Job raised several thousand years ago. Surely this brief life is not all there is. Something deep down inside cries out for an eternity that transcends our short-term problems. 
July 19, 2018
When we are the victims of economic collapse or slander, something within us demands an answer. Through the life of Job, we discover the heavenly reasons for our earthly misfortunes and how Jesus would answer Job’s painful cries. 
July 18, 2018
It seems unfair: some people seem to glide through life unscathed, while others bear unimaginable burdens. Job’s anguish of soul during his trials cries out for an answer. “God, why me?” 
July 17, 2018
Each of us will experience some kind of suffering in this life. No one is exempt. The story of Job teaches lessons about suffering all of us need to hear. Why? Our turn to suffer might be coming soon. 
July 16, 2018
When you’re hit with bad news you can scarcely absorb, a friend can be a great help. However, the friends of Job were scant comfort when he was undergoing severe trials. Their advice demonstrates the limits of human understanding. 
July 13, 2018
Sometimes, well-meaning friends can do more harm than good. Some of Job’s friends tried to “help” the suffering Job. Truly, with friends like these, who needs enemies? This story reveals our human limitations in understanding God’s purposes. 
July 12, 2018
There are far worse things to lose than one’s possessions. Even Job’s great faith was tested when he lost his health and his children. How would you handle the loss of everything? Would you curse God and die, as Job’s wife recommended? 
July 11, 2018
In this life we can experience great sorrow and disappointment. Bad things happen to good people, and we can’t help but ask “Why?” At these times we must learn, as Job did, that God is still there. 
July 10, 2018
When the economy takes a dive and your job disappears, the reason can be hard to understand. When you lose your health or your child, something inside screams, “Why?” But as a man named Job discovered long ago, there is a supreme purpose for suffering.
