Do you ever wonder why
some people seem to have more blessings in their lives than
others, or some people seem to have an easier time of things
going through life than others? I often wonder why it is that
I, your basic human sinner just trying to do the right thing,
have been blessed with such a wonderful life, relatively free
from massive health problems, financial problems, etc. when
others I know tell me how 3 of their siblings have cancer,
they are facing bankruptcy, and just developed a strange virus
that the doctors can't cure. Many times, I feel both guilty
that my life is so good, and also feel some trepidation that
something big and bad is yet to come. When my thoughts turn
in this direction, I am always reminded of Job, whose biblical
example is the standard by which we are to be accepting of
both the good and the bad that happen in life, and praise
God for all of it. Whether you feel like your life is full
of trials or of complete blessings, look at the example Job
gives us and see how God is pleased by faithfulness and love
through all things.
