Suffering can be very overwhelming especially when you a living correctly in Christ. It is hard to understand why with all your devotion and commitment to the cause of Christ and His kingdom on earth you still have to suffer.

When you think about Job and the things He suffered, you will be amazed. This was by far the most righteous man of his time. He loved righteousness and hated sin. Job was very conscious not only of the state of his relationship with God alone but that of his children.

This was a man who had no Bible but had in his heart a reverential desire to please God. But then the storm of life came and his life fell apart. It reminded me of the words of David in Psalms 34:19, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous”.

The Bible also says that the righteous cries. It is unthinkable for humans to see a man living for God and yet buffeted with much suffering.  The fact that we live godly in Christ will attract great suffering. The world will persecute us, the devil will attack us, and the genuineness of our faith will be tested.
