#OldTestament2022 #comefollowme #comefollowme2022 #realtalkcomefollowme

Join hosts Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum as they discuss impactful topics from this week’s Come, Follow Me lesson covering the book of Job.  Explore these important themes, topics, and questions: 

• Is the “Why does God let bad things happen to good people” question less useful than we might think? Is there a way to reframe the question in a more helpful way? 
• Have I ever “charged God foolishly”? What does that mean? 
• What does it mean to trust God more than yourself? 
• What does it mean to think of the Lord as a “compensatory God”?

Elder Uchtdorf Quote: “Being grateful in times of distress does not mean that we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we look beyond our present-day challenges. This is not a gratitude of the lips but of the soul. It is a gratitude that heals the heart and expands the mind.” [2014–A:70, Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Grateful in Any Circumstances]

Elder Scott Quote: “When you face adversity, you can be led to ask many questions. Some serve a useful purpose; others do not. To ask, Why does this have to happen to me? Why do I have to suffer this, now? What have I done to cause this? will lead you into blind alleys. It really does no good to ask questions that reflect opposition to the will of God. Rather ask, What am I to do? What am I to learn from this experience? What am I to change? Whom am I to help? How can I remember my many blessings in times of trial? Willing sacrifice of deeply held personal desires in favor of the will of God is very hard to do. Yet, when you pray with real conviction, “Please let me know Thy will” and “May Thy will be done,” you are in the strongest position to receive the maximum help from your loving Father. This life is an experience in profound trust—trust in Jesus Christ, trust in His teachings, trust in our capacity as led by the Holy Spirit to obey those teachings for happiness now and for a purposeful, supremely happy eternal existence. To trust means to obey willingly without knowing the end from the beginning (see Prov. 3:5–7). To produce fruit, your trust in the Lord must be more powerful and enduring than your confidence in your own personal feelings and experience.” Richard G. Scott (Trust in the Lord- October 1995)
