This decision is not a question of gender but temperament and faith. It might be easy for some to let gender play too big a role in this comparison, but that would be a mistake. How we approach God in times of trouble is not dictated by gender, environment, or ethnic background but by faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It is essential to realize that gender does play a role in Naomi\u2019s situation, as she is both an immigrant and a woman. It does add to her suffering, but she does not suffer from Job\u2019s physical condition. So they somewhat offset each other. I do not believe the Bible means for these two stories to distinguish between male and female suffering but to contrast their approaches to suffering. So, are you Job or Naomi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Job<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Job+1%3A20-22&amp;version=NIV\">Job 1:20-22<\/a>,<\/strong> \u201cAt this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: \u201cNaked I came from my mother\u2019s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.\u201d In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Job devastatingly lost everything. God took everything Job loved and cherished. He still had his wife, although her assessment was, \u201cAre you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!\u201d ( <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Job+2%3A9&amp;version=NIV\">Job 2:9<\/a><\/strong>). Not exactly the type of support one would expect. Job\u2019s friends took the time to give him bad advice. They assured him that he brought on his problems through his poor behavior. Job did not see anything in his possession as his, but God\u2019s to do with what He pleased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Job+3%3A25&amp;version=NIV\">Job 3:25<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cWhat I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Job feared suffering. He did not understand why God would let him suffer instead of taking his life. Job did not understand. But, through everything, Job stood with God. He would not blame God for his misfortune. He was not a victim.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Naomi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ruth+1%3A20-21&amp;version=NIV\">Ruth 1:20-21<\/a>,<\/strong> \u201cDon\u2019t call me Naomi, [pleasant],\u201d she told them. \u201cCall me Mara, [bitter] because the Almighty has made my life very bitter. I went away full, but the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? The Lord has afflicted me; the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Naomi also lost everything. She lost her husband and sons, which was her ability to care for herself. Unlike Job, thieves did not rob her; the death of her husband and sons robbed her of her ability to create income. Also, unlike Job, she was a foreigner, an immigrant. Therefore, she had no standing in the community. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Naomi, as opposed to Job, assumed her suffering was of God. She felt that God had chosen her for suffering. Naomi hints at the idea that what was hers was hers, and God just took it away. Naomi sees herself as a victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Restoration<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">God, in His compassion and wisdom, rescues both. God restored Job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Job+42%3A10-11&amp;version=NIV\">Job 42:10-11<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cAfter Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">God redeemed Naomi through Boaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ruth+4%3A9-10&amp;version=NIV\">Ruth 4:9-10<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cThen Boaz announced to the elders and all the people, \u201cToday you are witnesses that I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelek, Kilion, and Mahlon. I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon\u2019s widow, as my wife.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew+5%3A45+&amp;version=NIV\">Matthew 5:45<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cthat you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, we endure trials seeking God&#8217;s deliverance from them. Suffering is painful for us to endure or to see those we love endure. While our instinct is to flee trials, remember that even in the midst of suffering, God&#8217;s will is being done. &#8211; Paul Chappell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you Job or Naomi? Which do you choose; what is your approach? In this broken world where bad things happen to good people, do you praise God in your affliction, or do you see yourself as a victim of God\u2019s judgment? Do you think that as a dedicated Christian, God should rescue you from the world around you, or do you look for ways to glorify God within your circumstances?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">My dad used to say, \u201cLife is unfair; get over it.\u201d We serve a loving God who will take us through the darkest times. We need to cling to that promise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Isaiah+54%3A10&amp;version=NIV\">Isaiah 54:10<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cThough the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor my covenant of peace be removed,\u201d says the Lord, who has compassion on you.\u201d<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Job or Naomi, you pick the one closest to yourself.
