A recent study by the World Health Organization and Harvard Medical School revealed Americans are the unhappiest people on earth. I wonder if this isn't because we are convinced God will spare us any difficulty, pain, suffering, etc. When life does not work out that way, we become unhappy. The Bible will cure such errant theology. My reading the other day, for example:
"Take the old prophets as your mentors. They put up with anything, went through everything, and never once quit, all the time honoring God. What a gift life is to those who stay the course! You've heard, of course, of Job's staying power, and you know how God brought it all together for him at the end. That's because God cares, cares right down to the last detail."
James 5:10-11, The Message
In my future blogs, I want to share some of the prophets and OT personalities who pump me up!
