My pastor this Sunday shared and it really made me think through things.
Based on the Book of Job
Job is broken up into 4 sections
Blessings, Suffering, Questioning, restoration
Job’s life was right with God. I need to make sure I  am right with God.
“He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬
Be right with God and you can have Gratitude with God
Job had a focus on God. Job 1:10
We need to focus on God and not the provision.
Job 1:8
Look past of the stuff and look at the source.
God provides the job, he provides the strength.
Job 1:21
It’s easy to say this and super hard to live it out.
Job 2:10 – God is not done with me yet
Reading through the whole book- Job was righteous, but he was very discouraged- you will be frustrated.
Job got mad and frustrated about his situation, he did not curse God
Job 10:6 – God made him, but is also destroying him
3 way he can maintain Gratitude, though he’s frustrated and upset- God has a plan for your life. Job will trust God regardless, will we?
Though He would slay him, He is my salvation.
Life is Hard but God is good!
Job 37:5 – we cannot comprehend God, that is the reality of God.
Job 38:1 – God speaks into Job’s life all the way to the end of the book
If you have a sound mind, God has a plan, we can have an attitude of Gratitude. We serve a living God. We can praise God through it all.
1 Thess 5:18
Be the man you need to be, be the man Your family needs you to be. Make the tough decisions, push through the hard times. God has a plan. Give thanks to Him!
