 I'm pretty sure that most of you all have heard about Joe know his story know his plight But there's something about Joe that we really don't think about we don't talk about matter of fact We have rarely if ever heard someone speak about this particular thing now think about Joe story for a second Within a few hours matter of fact a day or two days and a short amount of time Joe loses everything now think about that. He loses his family loses his children He loses business. He loses a lot. He loses probably friends He loses his health or has lost a lot of his health in all of that job is never told what we want to know That is why WHY why God? We don't know the Bible never tells us that God tells Joe Why this is happening why he is allowed him to be ravaged in such a way? And so he's trying to figure things out and God never tells him why so Joe never gets the understanding as to what's going on But what does Joe get at the very end Joe one obviously gets restored but two and more importantly Joe has peace That's the point that we that we need to take away from that that Joe has peace Without getting all of the answers too many times. We want to have the answers. We want to know God Why is this why that I don't because if we have the answers why that we knew why we might try to adjust it But sometimes the why is not important. It's the who let me give you an example Paul tells us in Philippians 4 he says not that I speak from want For I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances. I am in I know how to get along with humble means And I also know how to live in prosperity in any and every circumstances I've learned the secret of being filled and going hungry both for having abundance and Suffering need here. It is I can do all things or what Joe went through you can do those things Whatever you're going through you can do that through him through Christ in this case who strengthens me And he goes on to say in another passage. He says in second Corinthians chapter 12 verse 10 looks at what he says Therefore, I am well content with weakness with insults and with distress with Persecutions with difficulties for Christ's sake for when I am weak, then I am strong How many of us go through these things? difficulties distress Weaknesses insults all the time and we're not content. We want to know why we want to get to the bottom We have to have an answer rather than trying to figure out why we can be like Paul and figure out the who He says that when I'm weak, I'm strong How is that even made possible well because when I'm weak who do I lean on I lean on Christ? And the same thing that Joe did was he leaned on or he trusted in God If we do the same thing the why is not as important as the who amen
