IS THE WAIT ON GOD WORTH IT?

                             

                                 
                                              WHY DO GOOD PEOPLE SUFFER?

“It's a shame there has to be a tragedy before the best in people will finally shine.” 
― E.A. Bucchianeri

There has been consistent doubt about the authenticity of  God and why He allows good people to suffer. This issue has not been resolved and can never sit well with Philosophers.
But reading the Word of God gives one some bit of hope and strength to carry on. Job's story was outstanding!

Job was a clear example of an upright man. He was recorded as a man who stood his ground and did not disobey God. He feared God and respected his commandments even when life was tough. He did not succumb to his friend's advice.

Job’s case is a clarion call to all Christians. It is indicative of the fact that those who put their trust in the Lord will not be put to shame. My question is: What do you do when situations are unbearable? Do you renounce your faith and curse God? Your answer should be in the negative. For God’s grace is sufficient to lead you out of any troubling situation. Hence, I urge you to anchor your faith in God and he will lift you up.

Being a caring God, Job was showered with many blessings. He was adorned with seven sons, three daughters, and many servants. All his needs were provided by God. He had riches which included seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred female asses. In all, he was adjudged as “the greatest man of the east!” (Job 1:3).

There is every reason to have faith in God. Just be sure that there is a higher Being, who is ready to take care of all that concerns us. Never doubt on this ground, for God is able. He is a God of possibilities and makes things happen in His time.

Remain blessed!
