Attitudes in Suffering

. Not charging God

Job 1:22 

In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

. Consider it joy

Job 1:2 

He had seven sons and three daughters,

. Entrust to God

1 Peter 2:23 

When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

. Not to be surprised

1 Peter 4:12 

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.

. Attitude of praise

Job 1:21 

And said: “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.”

Deuteronomy 30:9-10  

9 Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your fathers, 

10  if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Thought on this verse:

As we devote our lives to serve God, He blesses the fruit of our labors with great delight and pleasure. Just as He rejoices to bless us, so also Christians should desire to serve Him. This unfathomable pleasure in serving is solely founded on the Word of God and living in accordance to it. When we follow His commands with all our heart, soul, and mind, God prospers our way over an abundance.
