 The bible is the most important book in the whole world. It contains the truth
about God and all the miracles He has done. The bible teaches us the true
meaning of life, the nature of mankind, and our own hearts as human beings. .
It is an incredible book which contains the will of God for each one of our lives.
The book is perfect. It has no flaws and errors because it is inerrant.
Biblical passages carries wisdom in it for every word written has its own
important meaning. This contains the gospel of truth and you’ll never be the
same after you read this book. You will be more than amazed just by reading the
biblical passages in the Bible. It opens the hearts and minds of those who read
it. You’ll be enlightened by the truth that you’re about to discover in the Bible.
Reading it allows us to be closer to God by getting to know more about Him. It
teaches us a lot of things in life that would make us realize how awesome our
God is. We are aware of who He is and the simple thing He asks for us when the
time comes. And that is to believe. This book will help us find the unanswered
questions we have in our lives.
We humans are capable to do great things as well as terrible things. That is why
our Lord shows us how much he loves and cares for us despite of our
imperfections through this book. In the Bible, we learn that God would give
eternal life to those who turn away from their own selfish desires and agrees to
follow Him forever.
 The story that I chose was the ‘Story of Job’. Job was a wealthy man. He had
everything He needed. The food, shelter, clothing, and so on. He was an upright
man who avoided evil and followed Jesus. God was faithful in Job’s life, so as he
was faithful to Him. The Lord provided him his needs and had a wonderful
family. God blessed him abundantly and he had nothing to ask for. That is why
God boasts the goodness of Job towards Him. Job walked with God and followed
His commandments. It is his way of showing gratitude in God’s faithfulness to his
life. He does not cut himself off from the ability to give thanks. Job doesn’t deny
his own pain but he uses it as a gateway to go deeper into his relationship with
God. In times of trouble, he remained strong and firm with his faith.
 Job faced a lot of challenges in his life. That is how God tested his faith. Even
though he has nothing, he still praised God. Job said "The Lord gave and the
Lord has taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord .Shall we receive good at
the hand of the Lord, and shall we not receive evil?" But as time goes by, Job
began to doubt his confidence to God. It is because of the people around him
and the words they say to him that makes him think twice about God. He started
to insist his own beliefs and righteousness at the expense of God. The friends of
Job told him that God made his life miserable because he was being punished.
Job was not shaken and continue to believe in the Lord. He may wondered about
God’s plan for Him, still he continued to follow His footstep.
Job kept his faith and believed in what God can do to his life. The purpose of his
suffering was to clearly demonstrate the glory and value of God. It was never
the anger of God that made him live in misery. It was to test who he really is
and to strengthen the faith he has for God. After that, God restored him and
blessed him twice of what he has before. Finally, Job humbly acknowledge God’s
unstoppable will.
 There’s so much things you can learn in the story of Job. He was an inspiration
to those believers who once doubted their faith in God. Job was an incredible
man. He was never moved by any temptations and continued to remain faithful
in God.
Like Job, we can also experience hardships and troubles in our lives. This
hardships causes us to turn away from God and tendency is we blame Him for
what’s happening in our lives. But this is not one good reason for us to despise
Him. The lessons we can learn in the story of Job is very clear and profound.
First, we should trust God in everything that He do. He is a perfect God and no
one can defeat Him. All we need to do is to believe with all our heart in His
sovereignty. We are His children and He will never forsake us even though we
are sinners. Second, we should believe that everything He does is good and
right. We are assured by God’s love and protection at all times. Lastly, let us all
be contented in everything God has given us. Let us be satisfied with His holy
will for He knows what He is doing and what He’s capable of. Let’s learn to give
our 100% trust in Him. Our future is in His hands. No matter what happens, let’s
keep our faith strong and be thankful for His sacrifices and blessings.
Life may be full of ups and downs, don’t let it hinder us from praising the Lord.
Everything has a reason and for sure it would all be worth it at the end.
Surrender ourselves to God and allow Him to work in our lives. According to His
promises, we can stand secure.
Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version (NIV)

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.[
