In Oman we visited the traditional burial spot of the Old Testament Prophet Job. Job and the other prophets of the Old Testament, as well as Jesus, are considered holy men in Islam.
Michael Wilcox taught us about Job while we all sat outside his tomb. He asked us to consider a series of questions from the story of Job.
Why do the righteous suffer?
Why do evil people often get away with what they do?
Who is running the world?
Will you still love, honor, serve and believe in God regardless of what happens to you?
If all your supports are pulled away, will you still love God?
When 'life happens' to you, will you continue to live a good life? Will you continue to have integrity? Will you keep trusting God? Will you keep hope alive in your heart?
The ultimate lesson we can learn from the life of Job is this:
I will validate His trust in me, by trusting in Him.
