"If" For Christians

Job 38:1-42:6

The Lord had plenty of questions for Job after he had voiced his complaints during his sufferings. Job had no answers - only to acknowledge that the Lord is indeed God Almighty. Today, the Lord could well ask us Christians many similar questions.

If you never felt pain,

how would you know I’m the Healer?

If you never had to pray,

how would you know that I hear and answer you?

If you never felt sadness,

how would you know that I’m the Comforter?

If you never sinned,

how would you know I’m the Forgiver?

If you never were in trouble,

how would you know I am the great Rescuer?

If you never had any suffering,

how could you become like Me?

If you never had to fight against evil,

how would you know the joy of victory?

If you never had a problem,

how would you know that I have the answers?

If you were given everything you wanted,

would you try to find happiness without Me?

If you never went through the fire,

then how would you become purified?

If you were never corrected,

how would you know that I love you?

If you were never lost,

how would you know I’m the Savior?

If you were not able to choose,

how would you know if you would choose Me?
