Ep 196 | What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up? | A Fallen World Part 3 of 4

Growing up is daunting, but no matter where you work, study, or live, you can share God’s love with those around you.

Scripture

Colossians 3:16-17

Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. https://my.bible.com/bible/116/COL.3.16-17

Ep 195 | Why Do I Hurt | The Fallen World Part 2 of 4

When you find yourself asking the question, “Why do I hurt?” Know that you are asking a question that all people ask.

Scripture

Job 39:1-4

“Do you know when the wild goats give birth? Have you watched as deer are born in the wild? Do you know how many months they carry their young? Are you aware of the time of their delivery? They crouch down to give birth to their young and deliver their offspring. Their young grow up in the open fields, then leave home and never return.”

Job 42:2-6

“I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me. You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’ I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”

Questions

  1. What hurt or suffering in your life would you like to bring to God in prayer? 
  2. Jobs’ question to God was why good people experience suffering. What questions are you asking God?
  3. What did the story today teach you about God’s character?

Romans 5:17 NLT

For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
