lessons learned

There were many things that stood out to me from my study of Job but the 2 that stood out the most are these

1. God is all powerful and is all knowing. God is all wise. His will is always perfect. We don't always understand His ways---just like Job's suffering didn't make sense. He was a good person, and isn't life supposed to be great for them? Be happy...run smoothly, prosper, maybe a sick day here and there, but no major problems...right? That is sometimes how we think. When Job was at his lowest point.. in despair..God spoke to him showing him His great power and wisdom. Will He do less for us today..does He care less for us today?

2. We have to trust in God...even in the midst of our sufferings. Job never placed his hope in his experience, family,wealth, wisdom or health. Job focused on God. Job never gave up on God! At times God may seem far away We may be lonely, doubt his care for us...but my friends...He is there! He loves us, and cares for us. We should serve God for WHO he is, NOT what we feel, because God is sufficient....we MUST hold on to him!

Job shows us God is ALL we need, if we have nothing left in life but Him...He IS ENOUGH!!!!
