Title: God in Suffering/Job 35:9-16
Content Job 35:9-16
God in pain
Throughout human history, people have asked and explained countless times about suffering and suffering. However, the problem in this area still remains a mystery. This is because no matter how many times you ask what causes suffering and suffering, no clear answer can be obtained.
After the death of her husband, a woman who lived alone looked at her only son and lived through thousands of hardships. However, he lost his son in a fire overnight. Anyone who encounters such a case will be at a loss for words.
However, when these problems are reflected in the light of the Bible, a complete answer can be obtained. The reason is that the Bible contains the sufferings and sufferings of the Lord. However, such human suffering and suffering is the mystery of God's providence.
We can clearly read this in the text.
##### 1. God makes us sing even in the middle of the night
Elihu gives an example of the suffering and suffering of those who are crying because they cannot overcome the abuse and trampling of the powerful. But there are many who cry in the agony of abuse, but none of them seek a God who makes them sing in the night.
There is a reason why God gives us various sufferings and sufferings. It is intended to make you praise God for spiritual joy even in the midst of adversity.
But here, nighttime refers to extreme hardship that makes it difficult to distinguish between the front and the back. That is, God makes us sing in the midst of such suffering.
--When the Apostle Paul was imprisoned in , his feet were locked in a cloak and he sang praises to God in the night At that time, Paul was able to experience the miracle of God in which the mysterious prison door was opened and the locks were released.
Everyone!
May you have the faith to praise even in the midst of difficulties.
##### 2. God teaches secretly
Elihu went on to say that in the midst of suffering, God provides an incomparable good education. That's why it is said in the text.
However, the problem cannot be solved because people do not seek God even though they cry out in hardship. No one likes suffering and pain itself. But the bitterness of suffering and suffering is indescribably painful, but the useful lessons it teaches us are of infinite value.
So the psalmist confesses in Psalm 119:71. Called
I hope that you will discover God's grace in the midst of suffering.
##### 3. God also gives excellent wisdom
Elihu continued to speak.
And while people cry out in pain, they lament that no one seeks God.
The hardships and sufferings that come upon us do not only bring us wisdom, but also the superior wisdom of heaven. It is only through one's suffering that one can understand . And through your own suffering, you will develop wisdom that even makes you long for the suffering of Christ.
1 Peter 2:11...
1 Peter 4:16...
--A man joined the European army as a foreign mercenary. However, his army was defeated in battle, so he was captured and put in prison. Everyone had spent the day in fear of death, but he was rather happy that he didn't care about what to eat or what to wear. Most of all, I was delighted to be able to devote much of my free time to writing.
He begins writing novels in prison. Every time I wrote a chapter, I read it to my colleagues and wrote a novel. The title of the novel was 'Don Quixote'. He also wrote more than 100 novels, fables, and poems. His name was Cervantes and he was fifty years old at the time.
I bless you in the name of the Lord that you will keep your faith so that suffering can be beneficial to us.
