James 1:9-10

Suffering can be perplexing. God’s people—and even Jesus himself—have often asked the “Why?” question when facing suffering. Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal some, though not all, of God’s purposes in permitting suffering to enter our lives. Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.

Izbira Boga namesto sveta preučuje življenje dveh mož, Jakoba in Jožefa. Tako Jakobu kot Jožefu je bila dana posebna Božja obljuba, vendar sta zelo različno živela svojo vero. Kot bomo preučevali njuno življenje, bomo videli pomembnost izbiranja stvari Boga in načina, kako Bog nagrajuje tiste, ki hodijo z Njim. Odkrili bomo tudi, kako, četudi so Božji ljudje pogosto naredili zmešnjavo, Njegove obljube njim nikoli niso spodletele.
