Today’s Reading:
Job 1:13–22 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.”
(Job 1:21)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Setbacks and Comebacks — Reasons for Hope
A Thought for Today
Faith does not mean pretending that loss does not hurt.
What This Means for Us Today
Job receives devastating news and responds with genuine grief.
He does not hide his pain, yet somehow he continues to turn toward God.
There are seasons when faith may simply mean holding onto God while our hearts are hurting.
Carry This With You
Grief and faith can exist together.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, stay close when life hurts.
Help me hold onto You when I do not understand.
Today’s Invitation
Bring whatever is weighing on your heart honestly before God today.
You do not need to hide the hurt.
