This past Sunday we learned to identify and reject false teaching.

In Job 36 the speaker is Elihu, one of Job’s friends. He is trying to explain away Job’s suffering based on a wrong understanding of how God works and what God’s word says.

Job 36:11 “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, an their years in pleasures.”

Yet the truth is that God uses difficulties and suffering to accomplish His will through His children.

II Corinthians 12:9-10 : Paul had the thorn in the flesh I Timothy 5:23 - Timothy had a stomach condition

Hebrews 11:35 : People who are living by faith are suffering great heartache  

II Timothy 3:12 teaches that all that live Godly will suffer.

Today make sure you're drawing your conclusions and expectations about life from God’s word not man’s logic. (be it your own or someone else’s)

“Let us trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey.”
