“Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord – that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.” James 5:11
Read again this wonderful verse from James 5. Is our conclusion when difficult things come our way that the Lord is “compassionate and merciful?” Or do we consider ourselves unfairly treated? As you study through the first two chapters of Job this week, please consider how understanding what is being said in this portion of Job applies to your life. Everything may be going just fine in your life currently, but think about how you can prepare yourself now for the reality of suffering so that you will know how to respond when you experience it in the future? Be prepared to share how you are working through these thoughts as we gather this Thursday morning.
