While We Wait: Job

While We Wait: Job   

Job was a great man of faith walking with a God who had prospered him in every conceivable way. Then he lost it all. Stripped of wealth, friends, family, and health—wishing he’d never been born. What can we learn as Job waits in suffering for God to redeem?

This week’s #WholeLifeTakeAways:

  • What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of living in an “instant” culture?
  • Remember a time when you were suffering and there was nothing to do but wait. How did that feel?
  • What have you learned from waiting in times of minor or major suffering?
  • What do you find most confusing or most hard to reconcile in the conversation between God and Satan in Job 1?
  • What evidence would you sight if you were Satan to support the idea that God is selfish? And what evidence would you sight to defend the idea that God is totally unselfish?
  • How important are the answers to the last question and why?
  • In what ways are we tempted to follow God for selfish reasons?
  • What enables us to willingly to engage in redemptive suffering?
  • How can our journey through solitude enable us to know ourselves better and to rely wholly on God?
