Job by Swindoll
Some of you are facing what could easily be called an unsolvable problem today. I know because I've walked those paths too, both personally and alongside countless others in ministry.
It's in these very moments—when human answers fail—that God often does His most beautiful work. The impossible becomes His canvas.
Job's life gives us a rare glimpse behind heaven's veil. A man God Himself described as "blameless and upright, fearing God and turning away from evil."
His authentic faith was tested through unimaginable loss—home destroyed, family perished, health ruined, finances wiped out, reputation questioned.
What if God were describing you to Satan right now? What words would He use?
Through his long journey of questions and struggles, Job finally resolved: "I accept what God has sent. I have accepted good, now I accept adversity."
Read that once more. Acceptance became his anchor.
Like someone shaping clay on a potter's wheel, God was forming something beautiful through Job's suffering—something that could emerge no other way.
Job's Three-Dimensional Trust
He looked UP and was comforted by God's sovereignty—seeing beyond God's actions to His heart.
He looked AHEAD and was reminded of God's promise—"I know that my Redeemer lives" (Job 19:25).
He looked WITHIN and was shaped by God's instruction—surrendering himself to God "as never before."
My friend, if your days have been punctuated by difficulties and nights feel endless, remember: your Savior knows your breaking point.
The bruising, crushing, and melting are designed to reshape you, not ruin you. He's the Potter, remember, and you're the clay.
Your strength increases the longer He lingers over you.
What "unsolvable problem" might actually be the very platform on which God wants to do His best work in your life today?
