Job: An Example of Patience in the Face of Suffering⠀ ⠀ James 5:10-11⠀ ⠀ 10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.⠀ ⠀ Children never tire of asking "Why?" Yet the question produces a bitter taste the older we get. Children wonder about everything; adults wonder about suffering. We notice that the world seems to run by a system of cause and effect, yet there are some effects for which we can't find a clear cause, and some causes that don't lead to the expected effects. We would expect Job's wealth and family to give him a very happy life, and, for a while, they did. But the loss and pain he experienced shock us. The first two chapters of his story are more than we can bear. To those so quick to ask "Why?" at the smallest misfortune, Job's faithfulness seems incredible. But even Job had something to learn. We can learn with him.⠀ ⠀ Our age of "instant" everything has caused us to lose the ability to wait. We expect to learn patience instantly, and in our hurry, we miss the contradiction. Of all that we want now, relief from pain is at the top of our list. We want an instant cure for everything from toothaches to heartbreaks.⠀ ⠀ Although some pains have been cured, we still live in a world where many people suffer. Job was not expecting instant answers for the intense emotional and physical pain he endured. But in the end, what broke Job's patience was not the suffering, but not knowing why he suffered.⠀ ⠀ Fig 1. Life Application Study Bible. Zondervan, 2011. p. 769.⠀ ⠀ We're sorry ☹️ We have reached our character limit! Below is the link to continue reading on New Wine Fellowship's website!⠀ ⠀ https://wp.me/p7uF8B-11q

Sunday's #sermon Before the King and His Kingdom by Pastor @angelnwf #GodsPlan #TrustTheProcess Genesis 37:3-4 3 Jacob loved Joseph more than any of his other children because Joseph had been born to him in his old age. So one day Jacob had a special gift made for Joseph—a beautiful robe. 4 But his brothers hated Joseph because their father loved him more than the rest of them. They couldn’t say a kind word to him.

1 John 3:16 16 This is how we know what #love is: #Jesus #Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

According to the Riches of His Glory⠀ ⠀ Philippians 4:10-14, 19⠀ ⠀ 10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.⠀ ⠀ 14 Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.⠀ ⠀ 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.⠀ ⠀ "Are you content in any circumstances you face? Paul knew how to be content whether he had plenty or whether he was in need. The secret was drawing on Christ's power for strength. Do you have great needs, or are you discontented because you don't have what you want? Learn to rely on God's promises and Christ's power to help you be content. If you always want more, ask God to remove that desire and teach you contentment in every circumstance. He will supply all your needs, but in a way that he knows is best for you . . . ." (Life Application Study Bible 1998)⠀ ⠀ "We can trust that God will always meet our needs. Whatever we need on earth he will always supply, even if it is the courage to face death as Paul did. Whatever we need in heaven he will supply. We must remember, however, the difference between our wants and our needs. Most people want to feel good and avoid discomfort or pain. We may not get all that we want. By trusting in Christ, our attitudes and appetites can change from wanting everything to accepting his provision and power to live for him." (Life Application Study Bible 1999)⠀ ⠀ Work Cited⠀ ⠀ Life Application Study Bible. Zondervan, 2011. pp. 1998-1999.
