How do you feel – if through no fault of your own, things change for the worse? Are you going to respond by abandoning your faith in God because of setbacks, tragedies and sorrows in life? Or are you going to trust God no matter what happens with the unshakable attitude that when nothing else is left, you have God. Bible-believing Christians who are not fair-weather believers know deep in their hearts that God is enough for our lives and our future in times of blessings or sufferings.
Many of us do not understand why God allows us to suffer. In deed there are many “why” questions in life. Especially during times of trials, sufferings, and crises in our lives. Many, if not all of us, are tempted a thousand times to ask, “My God, why…? But we should not be disturbed by this situation. It is not a situation that exists only in this modern age. From Biblical story of Job is a story that should be told and retold to our brothers and sisters who are in the midst of sufferings. Job was wealthy man of God who lost his possession, his children and his health. Though he did not understand why God allowed him to suffer, his faith in God remained intact. Job continued to trust God no matter what happened. In the Book of Job in the Old Testament we see Job’s genuine faith had weathered his sufferings. As Job says: “Even if He (God) should kill me, I still will trust in Him.
