(10 MINUTES)
Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.
1. Question: Whom do you normally talk to when things are hard? When Job talked to his friends and wife, what was some of the bad advice he got? When he talked to God, what did he learn? Who helped Job the most?
Takeaway: Even God’s good people may suffer bad things.
2. Question: Job lost everything, but what good did God bring about through his suffering? How did God use Jesus’s death and suffering for good? What hope do we have when we go through hard things?
Takeaway: Even when bad things happen, we should trust and praise the Lord.
3. Question: Job lost his health, wealth, and family, but what did he never lose? Even when Job was given back health, wealth, and family, what do you think was his greatest treasure? Can anything separate us from God? How does that make you feel?
Takeaway: When Satan tempts us, we can resist him like Jesus and Job did.
4. Question: What were some of the questions God asked Job? Is anyone like God—creating all things and caring for them? Should we think we know more than God or trust him? Why?
Takeaway: Even God’s good people may suffer bad things.
