Bible why me

My heart faints within me! Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,. For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself. But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have. He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.

And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord. I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child rests against his mother, My soul is like a weaned child within me.

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God. For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself;.

I disturb, agitate, stir up, trouble. Why me Lord? Is this your continual question to the Lord your God? The cares of this world has made "why me Lord" a revolving door question in the minds of many, including the minds of God's people.

In the midst of pain and distress from satan's permissive attacks on Job that God allowed on his family, servants, live stocks, possessions, wealth and his health. It appears that God used Elihu to pave the way for His own answer to Job.

Then the Lord spoke. Using a series of questions, God gave Job a small glimpse of His infinite knowledge and power. Who was Job, to question the ways of the sovereign Creator? Job was reduced to the level of a grade school math student confronted by Einstein! Job's response was beautiful, and it was evidence of a great step forward in the development of his faith.

See and Job recognized his insignificance and his ignorance. He retracted his former "why me? He realized that the Lord was in control of everything and humbly submitted to God while waiting for further instruction.

God wants to develop our faith, too. Although asking "Why me, Lord? A growing Christian learns to humbly submit to the hand of God and to trust His ways. A third reason for Job's suffering was to display Job's faith.

Job was an example of faith, not only to earthly people, but to heavenly beings as well. In Job and , the Lord's questions to Satan make it clear that Job's faith was on display before the unseen spirit world. Can God take delight in displaying our faith? Someday, you will stand face-to-face with your Savior. You will gaze at the beauty of your new home, filled with never-ending love. You will look at the nail scars on Jesus' hands. You will know your unworthiness to be there and, filled with gratitude and humility, you will ask, "Why Me?
