He lost all of his wealth and resources.
And to make the matters worse, he even contracted a rare disease which filled all of his body with boils.
If you are Job, what perhaps will be your words?
You know what Job declared in Job 13:2? Here it is and you will be amazed -
"I am not inferior."
What, Job? You lost all of your children, you lost all of your wealth, and you are sick with a rare disease, and you can still declare that you are not inferior? Job can answer, "Yes, I am not inferior."
Job has all the reasons to feel inferior, but he chose not to.
Inferiority is not based on circumstances. It is based on choice.
You can only be inferior with your consent. If you allow yourself to be inferior, then you are.
Circumstances ought not to make you inferior.
You must be above any situation. Your looks, your status in life, your education, or your handicaps ought not to make you inferior. Dignity do not depend on these things. The wealth and success of others ought not make you feel inferior because your significance do not rest on things, nor on the standard of others. Your worth do not depends on your past, but on your totality as being a child of God.
Criticism ought not to make you inferior.
No one has the right to make you inferior. No matter how hurting the words can be lashed against you but it is still your choice not to feel inferior. You will only be inferior if you go to the level or below the level of your critics. Your worth do not depends on what people says, but rather on how God sees you.
Crisis ought not to make you inferior.
Take crisis as a challenge. Crisis happens but our dignity do not depend on how much money we have in our pocket. Your worth do not depend on Bulgaris, Calvin Klein, Mercedes Benz, or on mansions. Your worth depends on the One who gave His life for you.
Let me tell you why you ought not to think and feel inferior -
He who has God can never be inferior.
Believe how loved you are by our loving Father. Appreciate how you are being blessed by God. When you always think positively that all things work out together for good, when you always base your significance on God, when you always think that you are a victor, - inferiority can never sets in your heart. Why? Because you have God.
You are not like Job.
You have your family.
You have your job, your business, your career.
You have a good health.
Can't you see how blessed you are today?
Can't you see how blessed you are today?
Above all, you have God.
Why feel inferior?
