So they just referenced Job in Two and a Half Men.
Yeah, talk about irony.
But think about it. Are our lives so bad that we compare them to Job's? Let's take a look at his life's story, at a quick glance:
-Good dude, chilling out.
-Satan's like, "Yo God, Ima mess wit yo dude."
-Then God's like, "Aight, coo coo, he ain't gonna be lame."
-Satan: *proceedstomakeJob'slifealivinghell*
-Job = suck
-God = blesses Job's life
Job's life was a lot of suffering - with a lot of blessing. God's provisions are often proportional to the amount of pain inflicted upon the individual. With great power comes great responsibility, but great pain begets great blessing. So are our lives really like that? Do we truly regret the day we're born?
Or are we just overly dramatic?
The next time you think your life sucks because you don't have the iPad 2, consider that you probably have clean drinking water and clothes. Never forget the small blessings that are affections of God's grace - don't be blinded by materialism.
