You Asked For It (Week 01) - Why Does God Allow Suffering? (Job 1:21)

Job 1:21 (NIV) “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.”

What if God values

more than He values control?

What if

requires freedom?

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10)

1. Never build your life on something that can be

away from you. (Matt. 6:33)

2. God’s

will be greater than your suffering. (2 Cor. 4:17)

3. Let the

help you stay clear of moralism and cynicism. (Book of Job)

4. Suffering will never be fully

this side of heaven. (1 Cor. 13:12)

5. Having a personal

with God is way more important than having answers to our questions. (Job 1:21)
