Why do bad things happen to good people? That question is as old as almost the beginning of time. Much of the time we can't even answer it, much less make the tiniest bit of sense of it. And still, it is there begging from us the answers to why we go through the things we do.
One of the most important stories relating to this question comes to us in the form of the man named Job and what he had gone through in his life. He had lost his children to death, lost his property and even went through some excruciating physical torment, with which made his friends and his wife question and even curse God.
The wealth he had was no small matter in his life. It would be a hard thing to go from rich to poor in a matter of hours and not grieve our losses. And that had just been the beginning of loss for him.
That we ourselves would be as faithful to our God as he was to his. He believed God all through the terrible things that he was going through without skipping a beat in his faith.
And despite it all, God restored everything he had lost even more so for the years after the tragedies that took everything from him. How did he survive it all?
Come back tomorrow for more on what he had gone through and how his faith in God prevailed in him as he stood alone unwilling to turn from him as his friends and wife had been so willing to do.

Thanks for coming by today Friends. I know that yesterday I mentioned that I would be doing an amazing woman's story today. However, I ran across the one about Job and what he had gone through and how he had come through it. I find it a very appropriate message for us in what we face at times and wanted to go ahead and share some of it with you for today and tomorrow. May God's peace and joy abound you all through this day! God bless!
