Lessons From Job
By Keith Greer
- The book of Job won't answer all the whys, or lessen the tears--but it can provide comfort.
- The materials and wealth we attain during this life can disappear in an instant.
- Satan is walking "to and fro" seeking whom he may devour.
- Be careful what you wish for. You might get it.
- Only a foolish person would think he could answer any question posed to him by God.
- Do not attempt to answer when you do not know. At times, silence is the best course to pursue.
- Suffering comes to the good and the bad. The causes of human suffering cannot be laid at God's feet; human suffering is the result of SIN!
- True friendship is seen in the offering of comfort. Sometimes, just one tear speaks volumes.
- When bad times come, and you want to lash out at God, think about the love and constant care He's shown in the past.
- When all is said and done, there is only ONE who truly knows the end from the beginning--God!
- When you seek to give comfort to those who are hurting, don't give them cause for saying that you are a "miserable comforter."
- Remember, in the relationship man has with his Creator, the Creator is greater.
- Don't forget--GOD DOES CARE FOR AND LOVE US!
