    After eleven long, traumatizing weeks Mary Rowlandson was rescued from captivity. After her rescue, she was not bitter at God for allowing her to face such trials, saying, “We must rely on God Himself, and our whole dependence must be upon him” (“A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson”143). Like Mary Rowlandson, Job refuses to curse the name of God even when his acquaintances tell him to. In the end of the book of Job God restores him back to health and he continues to give praise and honor to God despite the many terrible things he faced.…

    “Have you considered my servant Job?” was the questioned asked of Satan by God. (Job 1:8) This triggers a book of over forty chapters of a man’s suffering and his reactions at the hands of his God. The story of Job basically falls into three tests and then God’s answer to Job’s cries. The summation of the first two tests came at the hands of Satan and his challenge to God. Job had lost everything, his…

    Job has no agency, no participation in God’s decision to make him the object of a wager. God does not give him the option to decline and he is presented with no opportunity in which he might refuse God outright. He has no control over the duration or intensity of his suffering. He is completely at the mercy of God.…

    My career goal is to have the ability to encourage, motivate, inspire, and stamp the lives of young teenagers. I chose to go into the career cluster of Education and Training. My career goal is to be a High School teacher and an Athletic Coach. I want to be considered one of the “cool teachers” that all the students go to with the school gossip and personal problems, but at the same time I want to be a teacher/coach that takes things seriously. I believe I would be successful pursuing teaching and coaching due to the fact they both share my interest of working with kids and being in charge. I also tend to believe with my grandmother and my mother also being teachers, it influenced my decision because…

    As human beings we feel the need to find a point to everything. It is hard to believe that something just happens. Good things happen for a reason, just as bad things do. Suffering is no different, in our minds there must be a point to experiencing bad things. Thus, suffering makes us stronger by strengthening our personality, motivating us to be better, and teaching us to accept what cannot be changed.…

    In the story of Job, we learn from the very beginning that Job lost all his life stock, and lost all of his children. In response to this news, Job reacted with gut wrenching words, causing him to be very depressed. He was in a state of confusion and sorrow over what he believed was God's personal attack on him. Job believes with all his heart that he did nothing to deserve this attack on his life (Job 9:15-23). Theses tragic events happen at the hand of Satan because he argues that Job's was righteous and obedient because of God's wall of protection was around him.…

    The Bible says “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God” also, God reveals that suffering carries with it a noble purpose: It should help us to grow in brotherly love, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians6:2) I think that when we support each other through suffering we form closer relationships. I believe that suffering is a part of life that needs to be embraced and that for me, I find comfort in knowing God allows suffering to serve a divine purpose. When we return to God it will bring an end to sadness and suffering. I suffer every day with anxiety. It makes me a better person because I know what it’s like to suffer, and because I suffer, I am a more compassionate person to others. I go out of my way to try to lift others in spirit because I know what it feels like to be down. I try to be a wonderful friend because I know how shortcoming in friends can be a letdown, and how having a good friend has kept me safe on bad days. I think sometimes when people don’t suffer they become self-centered and think they are above others. I think it is often when we suffer that we are drawn closer to our families and given a reality check. Suffering helps us to fulfill our potential as children of God (1John…

    Suffering in the Bible

    • 989 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Throughout all of history, suffering has been the stumbling block of humanity. Different peoples and cultures have tried to define the act of suffering but it remains a problem for philosophers and a harsh test of faith. It is not natural to see any profit in suffering. Mankind staggers over it, considering it a tragedy, an interruption to progress, and ultimately fate to be avoided. According to the Bible, it is the will of God that believers should suffer. This, however, is not a popular teaching. We hate suffering and try to avoid it. The Bible says that all who live godly lives in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3). There, however, is much confusion on the definition of suffering. For example, suffering is not a sign of holiness nor a way of subduing the physical body. When possible, suffering and persecution is actually to be avoided. In the Bible, Jesus avoided suffering unless it meant disobeying his Father’s will. God uses trials to get our attention and to accomplish His will in our life in a way that would never have occurred without the trial. Going through these trials forces us to trust in God in rather than ourselves and our resources.…

    This week reminded me how amazing and important my job is. Friday was a busy day at the office; I was rushing to finish my work so I could leave on time. As I was about to leave I received a phone call from a hiring manager (Mark) with NOAA. Mark had questions about the interview process and was calling to speak to one of my colleagues. Unfortunately, my colleague was on vacation and wouldn’t be back for another week. I looked at the clock and realized it was time to go but I could hear the frustration in Mark’s voice. Instead of leaving, I spent almost an hour listening to Mark’s concerns, answering his questions, and I explained how the federal hiring process works. At the end of our conversation, Mark thanked me for my time and he told me…

    You can see that living in such situations is clearly a disaster! So, occupation by any government or occupation of any kind is wrong. Invasion is more harmful to a country than we really understand. Occupation or invasion is a foreign concept to all of us. Living on the other side of the world that doesn’t go through such agony, we don’t tend to understand how it feels to live under military occupation. The proper definition of an occupation is when a foreign army occupies your land, physically and controls your life.…

    The prime example of suffering in the bible is that of Jesus. He suffered the ultimate sacrifice of death to save mankind from death for their sins. This gives a comparison for someone who is suffering; it shows that however bad the suffering of that person is it is nothing compared to the suffering felt by Jesus. The bible also says that we should be happy that we are suffering just as Jesus did, ‘be happy that you are sharing in Christ’s sufferings so that you will be happy and full of joy when Christ comes again in glory. When people insult you because you follow Christ, you are blessed, because the glorious spirit, the Spirit of God, is with you.’ This teaches us that we should be proud to be a Christian and not worry about the suffering that that may bring upon us. The resurrection of Jesus also gives hope for a person in need as it tells them that suffering is only temporary and there will be an end to it.…
