Today in church our blessed sister Sharon Donald told us the story of Job.
Job was a good and wealthy man who loved God. Satan argued with God that Job is only faithful because his life is easy, and so God allowed Job to be tested because He knew that Jobs’s faith was unshakeable.
One disaster after another hit Job. He lost his wealth, his children, and his health. But even so, he refused to turn against God, though he struggled to understand why all this was happening to him.
His friends told him that he must have done something wrong to deserve it, but Job insisted he hadn’t. God is not vengeful and He doesn’t punish. The argument went back and forth for a long time. But eventually, God spoke to Job, not with a clear answer, but by showing him how much bigger and more complex the world is than humans can fully understand.
In the end, God tells Job’s friends they were wrong, and Job’s life is restored. Job went on to live another 140 years. His wealth, health and family were given back to him.
The story of Job is about a good man who suffers terribly, questions God, stays faithful, and learns that not everything has an easy explanation.
Next week is Father’s Day. Please join us here at Acorn International Church to celebrate our Dads, husbands and Grandads!! 1100 am Sunday. We look forward to seeing you ❤️
