Learn To Teach
Read:Job 2:1-10
Have you considered My servant Job? —Job 1:8
Bible In One Year: Genesis 46-48; Matthew 13:1-30
After my father injured his eye so severely that it had to be surgically removed, doctors and nurses commented on how well he accepted the loss. His response was indeed exceptional. Throughout the ordeal I never heard him complain.
After the accident someone asked, "Why would God allow this to happen? What does your dad have to learn at his age?"
Not every tragedy is the result of our being enrolled in God's school of hard knocks against our will. There is always something we can learn from suffering. But in this case, my father was the teacher as well as the student.
Dad's response to pain and loss, combined with my mother's ongoing godly response to her own health problems, is teaching me the lesson that God's servant Job knew was true. At the height of his suffering, his wife urged him to "curse God and die!" (Job 2:9). But Job responded, "Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" (v.10).
Job didn't understand the reason for his suffering, yet he affirmed his steadfast belief in a God who had the right to allow trouble in our lives as well as good. In times of suffering, it's important to consider what God would have us teach, as well as what He would have us learn.

Affliction has been for my profit,That I to Thy statutes might hold;Thy law to my soul is more preciousThan thousands of silver and gold. —Psalter
Difficulties tend to call out great qualities.
And here's a short paragraph of words, that you can use to remind yourself of the day that Jesus Christ is coming back, and let's pray that we will receive a sense of urgencyto do His will in our lives...
Father in heaven, please help us to live with the highest of hopes today. We are not proud of the fact that we are inclined to look only for the satisfactions of the moment. For all of the good pleasures of life, we are thankful. But please help us to look for opportunities to be Your hands and feet to those who need to join us in being ready for the One who said, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
