Praising Through Problems
February 5, 2018
Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?
Job 2:10
Its cancer. I wanted to be strong when Mom said those words to me. But I burst into tears. You never want to hear those words even one time. But this was Moms third bout with cancer. After a routine mammogram and biopsy, Mom learned that she had a malignant tumor under her arm.
Though Mom was the one with bad news, she had to comfort me. Her response was eye-opening for me: I know God is always good to me. Hes always faithful. Even as she faced a difficult surgery, followed up by radiation treatments, Mom was assured of Gods presence and faithfulness.
How like Job. Job lost his children, his wealth, and his health. But after hearing the news, Job 1:20 tells us he fell to the ground in worship. When advised to curse God, he said, Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble? (2:10). What a radical initial response. Though Job later complained, ultimately he accepted that God had never changed. Job knew that God was still with him and that He still cared.
For most of us, praise is not our first response to difficulties. Sometimes the pain of our circumstances is so overwhelming, we lash out in fear or anger. But watching Moms response reminded me that God is still present, still good. He will help us through hard times.
Lord, prepare me for the times when praise is most difficult to utter.
Is someone hurting? See this special edition of Our Daily Bread: Hope and Strength in Times of Illness at odb.org/hopeandstrength.
Even at our lowest point, we can lift our eyes to the Lord.
When we suffer we often ask why? But this might not be the best question. When Jobs friends tried to explain away Job's pain, they angered God (42:7). A better question is Who do we turn to? Job never received an explanation for his pain, but he found that seeing God was answer enough (v. 5).
How has God shown His presence in your pain?

I was there from May 1990 to September 1990 going through C-130 loadmaster training. I also was able to get my PADI scuba certification during that time. Fun time, but it was brutally hot summer.

I was stationed at LRAFB SAC back in 1967-1969, being transferred there after Walker AFB in Roswell New Mexico closed.
It has or had a good mall with most of the base necessities there. Bowling alley, theater, Library, BX, all in one place instead of being spread out as they were at other bases.
The cook at the bowling alley made some of the best hamburgers there.
To: PROCON
LOL! I forgot about your trip to Costco the other day. I imagine you loaded up well then.
Y’all need to quit hoggin’ up all that nice weather! It was a looks-can-be-deceiving day here. Clear skies, bright sunshine, and it looked so nice through the windows. But we never made it out of the 30s.
Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer but it’ll be wet. That’s ok. It’ll be rain rather than snow. :-)
