JOB: A HARD LIFE AND A GOOD GOD

Book of Job

Discuss

Job’s life is like a roller coaster – things were good, then it got really bad, then back to good, even better. Job had moments where he questioned God but in the end he expressed his trust in God and God blessed him with even more children, land, and animals that he had before. The main point that we focused on in GrowKids, is the trust that Job had in God even when life was really tough and his friends were trying to convince him that God was not for him. Talk about all the things that happened to Job and discuss difficult times your family has endured and yet you continued to trust God.

Weekly Challenge

Set up a trust obstacle course in your home. Use everyday items to create a path where one person is blindfolded and must rely upon verbal cues from a partner to navigate through obstacles like pillows, chairs, blankets, or even a rope line. Once everyone has had a chance to be blindfolded and provide guidance, talk about what it took to trust the person giving instruction. Was it easy or difficult to accept instruction? How important is it to build trust within your family and ultimately to be able to trust God.

Power Verse
