Be PatientYou Can Endure and Mature in Trials "When He has tested me, I will come forth as gold" (Job 23:10). Many people have heard about Job and his trials, but not many people understand what those trials were all about and what God was trying to accomplish through them. Neither did Job, at least not at first. But as Job asked hard questions of himself, his friends, and his God, he gained new insights on suffering, patience, and endurance. And he learned a valuable lesson about how powerful--and caring--the Lord really is. As you study the Book of Job, you too will learn much--whether you have suffered, are suffering now, or are helping a loved one cope with suffering. Like the patriarch of old, you can learn to Be Patient in your trials. |
