This week we are continuing the book, titled "How God Makes Men" by Patrick Morley.

Chapter 8 talks about the story of Job, who started out as one of the wealthiest men in his land and quickly lost everything. Job endured suffering which, from his perspective was for no apparent reason. The story of Job is a powerful one, even though he was suffering, he lost his children, his wife told him to forsake God. His friends came against him calling him to repent because "surely he has wronged God", but Job knew he was righteous and while he didn't understand why God was allowing it to happen. He never cursed God, he complained, sure, but he did not curse God. He endured, he asked questions, and by the end of Job he is restored, and the later years of his life was blessed even more than his earlier years.

Sometimes, we won't know the reason why God allows things to happen, and it's important we continue to praise God, to turn to God during those times. There are times when God will allow these things to happen to test our faith, to see if we are ready to be increased. Other times things happen because we have disobeyed, or because God wants to bring correction.

This week we are continuing the book, titled "How God Makes Men" by Patrick Morley.

Chapter 6 talks about the story of Solomon, who God appeared to in a dream, saying to him "ask me anything, and I will give it". Solomon responded by asking God for a heart of Discernment, God was pleased with his answer and granted it. In addition, God also granted Solomon with wealth and wisdom. Scriptures tell us there would be no one to be as wise as Solomon every again.

This week we take a look at some of the things Solomon did, and the conclusion that he drew. Solomon spent a decade searching for ways man could spend his time searching for fulfillment outside of God. He amassed massive wealth, a harem of wives and concubines, he built an empire! His conclusion: It was all meaningless, like chasing the wind!

This makes us think, maybe, we need to start redefining what we consider to be Success.
