When Life Takes a Turn for the Worse: Lessons from Job

[prayingmamap]

Suffering: Romans 8: 16-18

"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." (NIV)

In seasons of struggling, there is no greater goodness than Gods. Although we feel alone and our hearts of flesh are overwhelmed, burnt out, and suffering; we are redeemed by God's goodness. We don't have to earn his salvation, simply by being his children we are redeemed. And no matter what the enemy has been putting in our lives- there will always be moments of Gods glory. In suffering we mess up, we may sin in new ways, or even turn from God but God is always forgiving- his mercy is evident and worth celebration. We are called to suffer well but to suffer is to struggle- and to struggle is something the human flesh will always try and avoid. The truth is that we can't avoid struggle, suffering, grief, loss or saddness- but simply we must pray. With or without God there is suffering, would you not rather suffer with the Lord than suffer alone?
