Job 2:10b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?\u201d Did you ever have a great week where nothing went wrong? How about a great year? We have probably had bad times. How about what Job just went through, lost his children, his business, his farm and all his animals with it, and his health. His wife\u2019s reaction was anything but praise, and maybe somewhat like ours. How could Job respond the way he did? In God\u2019s words, \u201cHave you considered My servant Job, that there is<\/em> none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?\u201d (Job 1:8). His relationship with God. When I was a Chaplain on a Police Dept. and something would happen to someone and a family member would ask me \u201chow could God do this?\u201d, or \u201chow could God let this happen?\u201d, I would ask them about their relationship with God. If you don\u2019t know God, you can\u2019t understand why things happen like they do. It usually isn\u2019t until later when we look back that we see God\u2019s plan in all of it. I was a volunteer Chaplain for 8 years and a paid position opened for a Chaplain on the Sheriff\u2019s Dept. but I wasn\u2019t selected. When I didn\u2019t get the job, I asked God why, but didn\u2019t stop praising Him. A few months later a new Sheriff was elected and he let go all of the upper brass including the Chaplain. When things are going bad, look and see what God is doing, it\u2019s for our good and His glory. When someone asks how is it going, I say \u201cit\u2019s going God\u2019s way\u201d. You can either go with it or fight against it, but it will go God\u2019s way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Job 2:10b \u201cShall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?\u201d Did you ever have a great week where nothing went wrong?
