“Worship Rather Than Weep”
Wednesday, January 29, 2025
Key Verse
“Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped” (Job 1:20).
Text —Job 1:13-22
Message
One perplexing question that had troubled and still troubles the minds of sincere seekers is why do bad things happen to good people? The reality of unexplained disaster and suffering has continued to confound many, especially unbelieving youths or immature Christian youths. God is great, good and able to avert all calamities that sometimes befall good people but for some reasons which we may not understand as humans, he allows them to happen.
Job was just, wise, humble and charitable, serving the Lord in truth and in Spirit. The character of Job made God to be proud of him before the devil who concluded he was only committed to God because of God’s protection over him. Thus, God permitted Satan to afflict Job to prove a point about Job’s integrity and loyalty, leading to his losing everything dear to him – his wealth, children and health. He did not lose his faith and integrity but worshipped God and submitted to his sovereignty. He is a worthy example for you to emulate in times of trials and persecutions as you wait on God for His intervention.
