Right just a recap:
We can learn many important lessons from Chapter 1:
· God is good. He protects us. He provides for us.
· The devil is cruel. The devil causes our troubles.
· Sometimes God allows the devil to test us. At these times, God is still protecting us. God will help us.
When we have troubles, we should still trust God. We should continue to respect God. And we should praise God in every situation.
Its important to know that all we have actually belongs to God, when we understand this material things mean nothing, well have no unhealthy attachment to them. Because God gives us all we need to fufill all He has planned for us, and will never fail us!
This morning i got up and my car window had been smashed, i immediately paniced and got upset, not for the car but the inconveince, and the fact I have no money to pay for repairs, I immediately cried out to God and asked Him for peace and to help me! I have such a busy day ahead and couldnt afford to be held up, but God really wanted to show me where my relience was. Unfortunatly my relience was heavly in my car to get me everywhere, and not trusting that God would provide me with an alternative! silly thing to think to someone who created and owns everything hey?!
Anyway, Job begins to complain and get really upset about his situation, but then he begins to curse the day he was born, and saying his life is meaningless.
Like me this morning, Job lost sight of Gods plan, and forgot God was still in control.
Im every situation in our lives we need to FULLY rely on God, because we will NOT FAIL US!
Jobs friends are also very negative toward the situation and don't help him, and uplift him and point him towards God..Its important for us when we are going through hard times and battles to get around people that will make us push into God and let us not get further into our misery.
Not saying that we cant hang around non christians, but we need to be carefull that we dont let our friends feel 'sorry' for us, but have awesome friends that say hey, Gods got it, you have strengh to get you through, they will pray with you are really help you push through!
We cant live our lives felling sorry for ourselves, because eventually it will spiral downwards maybe into depression, and thats exactly where the devil wants us to be!
We are more than conquers! (Romans 8v37)
We are not people who shrink back! (Hebrews 10v39)
Take courage my girls and live strong
Jaana is our mummy and has an ear from God to us when we sometimes cant see and hear in our own situations!

I should have known my mother would have some wise words to say,
